A resident of Kaukauna for 8 years, Reeves said in a news release that wants to serve the Kaukauna community with a fresh outlook that infuses new ideas and a commitment to highlighting that which makes our community great already.

The location makes it a perfect residential option for families with members who work in both.

Reeves said he cares about the quality of day to day life for his Kaukauna neighbors. He wants to take steps to improve the quality of life in the city of Kaukauna as well as bringing a fresh outlook that is possible when someone looks at issues from a new perspective.
