I fell in love with Tombstone in the 1980s while installing 9‑1‑1 systems throughout the American Southwest. I purchased an 1881 adobe at 3rd and Toughnut in 2005 and the 1880 Buford House on Safford in 2012. I’ve spent my free time enjoying the weather, history and people of Tombstone since 2005 (while still on the road consulting 80% of the time).
Living here full time since March of 2020 I would now like to offer my public safety, municipal and business experience for the benefit of Ward 2 and the City of Tombstone.
Tombstone is a wonderful city, a great place to live and work, and I want to preserve our character and rich history as best I can.
Living in Tombstone
Living here full time has always been my goal. Throughout the years Catherine and I have stayed here from weeks to months at a time. In March 2020 we were finally able to make Tombstone our full time permanent residence.
