About Me

I was born and raised in Laramie County. Apart from attending the University of Wyoming, I have lived here my entire life.  I truly love being a resident of this wonderful county.  I'm a 6th Generation Wyomingite.  My pioneer family's roots in Laramie County run deep and go way back to when Wyoming was just a territory.  After serving in the Civil War, my Great, Great, Great Grandfather, General Joseph Washington Fisher was appointed by President Grant to move to Wyoming and hold the office of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Wyoming and that’s how our family’s heritage began here in Laramie County.  His son, my Grandpa’s Grandad, T. Joe Fisher held the office of Clerk of the Court here in Laramie County and occupied this office for two separate terms.  He was the Clerk of the Court during the famous Tom Horn trial. He was ultimately the person who read the guilty verdict at the end of that trial.  My grandfather worked for 45 years at the Union Pacific Railroad. While he was employed by the Union Pacific, the Great Blizzard of ’49 occurred. He was dispatched to a stranded train east of Cheyenne, there he got the trains boilers working, saving the people that were stranded on the train from freezing.  So, as you can see, leading a life of servitude is in my blood and has come natural to me.  I have honed my leadership skills while serving and volunteering on many organizations including being the president of the ARC of Laramie County for six terms.  I was elected President and Vice President of the Wyoming Association of Fairs. I served on the Faculty and Staff Welfare Committee and the Educational Staff Services Council while employed at Laramie County Community College. I coached youth soccer for the Cheyenne Soccer Association for ten years. I have also been on officer teams for 4-H and FFA organizations and served on my church’s Board of Trustees to mention a few.

I have been married to my longtime friend, Pam for 22 years. We have two delightful adult daughters, Cody and Mariah along with having two wonderful Labrador hunting dogs, Junior and Buster.  I enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, spending time with family and watching and cheering for our family’s children at their sporting events.

I've had the satisfaction of working for both government and private (enterprises) throughout career.  This has given me a solid knowledge of how these sectors operate. 

My latest career undertaking, that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed over the last 15 years is working for the Laramie County Fair and the Laramie County Events Department. I have been an integral part of developing the Archer Fairgrounds and the Event Center at Archer.  I've gotten to know so many people that live here in Laramie County through the several positions I’ve held.  I also am a problem solver and would truly enjoy serving the residents of Laramie County as your Commissioner.   I know what I can bring to the Commissioner’s table and those are; fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accessible and approachable representation for you, the residents of Laramie County.  I’m not one for making idol pledges, I stand behind what I promise, and I assure you that I will work hard for the residents of Laramie County.  

Some of the issues I will focus if elected will be monitoring and managing the anticipated growth that our county will see in the foreseeable future. I will ensure that we don’t overextend and deplete our water resources. I will also ensure that we don’t over burden the infrastructure and services capable of handling such foreseen growth.  Services the government provides cost money, from the repairs and maintenance of the roads we travel down to the health and safety services we rely on when needed. This also includes quality of life amenities such as recreation, entertainment and enjoyment.  I will work hard to ensure that tax dollars are spent wisely and evenly across the county while providing the same or better level of these services.
