Why I’m Running

I am running for City Council to create a more vibrant Lakewood for my family and for yours. To me, 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 the CEO of a small business, 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 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, so our children do not have to move away to build a life.

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.
