I want to work on scalable projects for improvements that make the city an economical and enjoyable place to live. Also, focus on those scalable projects that can make our city attractive and inviting for tourists, the community and developers. I want Arnold to be a place people want to be. I also want to prioritize education in our city.
Politicians represent the people, make decisions and influence the formulation of public policy. What makes me qualified? I live in the city, I care about the city and community, my children go to school in the city and I want to see the city thrive.

Public elected offices held City council, Arnold, Ward 3, 2017-present
Incumbent? Yes
I will continue to make public safety a top priority. I have earned endorsements from both the Arnold Police Officers Association and the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 15. As liaison to the finance committee, I will use my FSCP designation to help keep our financial portfolio strong. I want to make sidewalks connected and accessible for wheelchairs and mobility devices.
After eight years as a councilman, I have the ability to work with a wide variety of people. This includes council members, city employees and citizens. The word transparency will be used. If you ask any of the hundreds of citizens that I have helped, they will tell you no matter the outcome I have been honest and transparent in my responses to them.
