In high school, he was the 1975 ZHS class president in his junior and senior years. He went to college at OSU and Muskingum College. At ages 22 and 24 he was elected to the city council, and became Mayor at 26, and reelected at age 30. He became a member of PUCO in 2008. He has now retired from elected office and is self employed as a utility and pipeline industry consultant. My best memory of Don: As Mayor, he conviced the city and county executives that good things would happen if they would work together. They did, and it happened! Thank you, Don!
