The City Of Holland, Michigan/USA

The Holland City Council has been like a second job since 1982 when I was appointed to fill a vacancy. I then was re-elected in 1983, 1985, 1989, 1993, 1997, 2001 and 2005. I'm obviously not a big fan of term limits! I am the city council's liaison to the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Board of Public Works.

The City Of Holland, Michigan has its own web page. You can use it to browse different city departments, communicate with the Mayor , any City Council Member or City Manager or to request information.

My ward is roughly defined as: 14th Street on the north, River Avenue / Michigan Avenue on the east, 24th Street on the south and Graafschap road on the west. There are large exceptions to this as of the 2002 census, so take a look at the map.


I have a real job too! Since 1987 I have been with advertising department of  the Grand Rapids Business Journal -- a weekly business-to-business newspaper in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The G. R.  Business Journal is an incredible newspaper that reaches (through paid subscriptions) over 25,000 business decision makers throughout the west Michigan area.

I currently serve as an Advertising Sales Consultant. You can start a subscription or request advertising info by contacting me .


Genealogy is a big part of my life. I am mostly working on my "Rich" family history. I am a lifetime member of the Rich Family Association of Wellfleet, Massachusetts and have designed a web page for the association. Through Rootsweb I administer two email mailing lists -- the Mayflower list and the Rich list. So, whether you're searching for your Pilgrim roots or you have Riches in your past, you've come to the right place!


As a SCUBA diver and wreck researcher, I spend almost as much time underwater as I do in the library or on the Internet researching "ships gone missing". I am a part of the team which recently discovered the wreck of the long-lost "H. C. Akeley", the car ferry "Ann Arbor no. 5" and the "SS Michigan". We've formed the non-profit group Michigan Shipwreck Research Associates to assure proper documentation and research of these historic vessels and others we plan to locate.
