Why I'm Running

Lakewood is more than just a city. We are a community filled with history, hope, and heart. This is where brave leaders built a city nearly three decades ago. This is where military families come to belong, students attend some of the most diverse schools in Washington, and people from all walks of life gather to create something special.

But we aren’t without our challenges, including housing affordability, public safety, and managed growth. 

I’m a veteran, father, CEO, and Lakewood Planning Commissioner that loves this city and want to bring my experience and passion to serve this community on the Lakewood City Council, Pos. 3

If elected, I will focus my efforts on three key priorities:

  1. Revitalization and Growth: Revitalizing Lakewood’s neighborhoods and establishing the Colonial District as the vibrant, urban heart of the community. As CEO of a real estate brokerage, I have the experience and expertise to make this vision a reality.
  2. A Voice for the People: I firmly believe that the needs of Lakewood residents come first—not state mandates or staff agendas. I will be a strong voice and advocate for safe, vibrant neighborhoods that are full of opportunities for future generations to come
  3. Healing and Unity: Collaboration is desperately needed in today’s divided world. As a former Air Force chaplain, he helped over 2,000 Airmen and their families find connection and support. I’ll bring that same spirit of collaboration to the City Council.
 
If you believe in this vision for our city like I do, please consider joining my campaign and contributing today to help get our message out to voters.
