President

I’ve been a Teamster for 32 years. I got started in this as a Union Steward to help people and enforce the contract. Now as the President and Principal Officer of Teamsters Local 651, I deeply care about having a strong Union across the country as well as inside of Local 651. The major components that our team thrives to achieve is representing our Members, having a financially sound local, constantly organizing internally, educating our Members and reaching out to organization externally to grow our Local. All of these components equal a Strong Local making our Members proud as well as growing the labor movement. 651 Strong!
