I am running for City Council to to ensure Lakewood is a place where every resident can thrive. I want Lakewood to be a place where our children don’t want to leave and our seniors can afford to stay; a place where every chapter of life belongs. That’s because Lakewood is more than a city. We’re a community, which faces substantial challenges in public safety, affordability and responsible growth. We need bold leaders who listen to take us into the next chapter.  I will be that leader. I believe Lakewood’s best days are ahead of us. As a small business owner with a background in real estate, I know how we can revitalize our downtown and establish the Colonial Center as the urban heart of our community – where families gather, cultures thrive, and small businesses grow.  As a former Captain Chaplain in the Air Force, I know how to both listen and lead, and I will bring a spirit of collaboration to the City Council.  Finally, as the son of a senior citizen, father to a teenager, and former grief-group counselor at Mary Bridge Hospital, I know the importance of protecting our most vulnerable populations.  I will fight to ensure our neighborhoods are safe and vibrant for generations to come.

I have bipartisan support from leaders across our community, shown by the endorsements below. It would mean the world to me, and my family, to have your vote.
