As a retired US Army Lt. Colonel and combat veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq, I have dedicated my life to defending our nation and serving our community. My career has been built on a foundation of integrity, disciplined leadership, and a steadfast commitment to public service—both in uniform and right here at home.

With extensive senior leadership experience managing budgets exceeding $75 million, I possess the proven financial oversight and deep knowledge of governmental information management systems required to make our county government run efficiently. I know county government because I’ve served in it—and I’m ready to use that experience to make it smaller, smarter, transparent, and more accountable to the taxpayers.

I believe in leadership by example. Unlike career politicians, I am running to serve the people, not to secure a taxpayer-funded safety net.
