I’m running for a better Mill Creek— for today and for tomorrow

We need to focus on the basic block-and-tackling that is needed to run a city— but we also need to be proactive and strategic about the future of our city. From repairing and maintaining an aging infrastructure, managing costs responsibly, and addressing our growth, I’m helping plan for Mill Creek’s future while preserving the character and community we all love.

I have a proven track record of balancing budgets, generating revenue streams and forming partnerships. My skill set and creative problem solving is an asset to the council to help deal with current issues and opportunities ahead.

I believe in…

  • Solid Planning for Controlled Growth

  • Strategic Planning for Controlled City Costs

  • Improving Transportation Issues and Traffic Congestion

  • Maintaining a Connected Community

My wife, Lisa, and I moved to Mill Creek over 20 years ago to raise our family. We couldn’t be more grateful for the friends and connections we made along the way. After a successful business career and many years of community service, I was appointed to City Council Position #1 in February 2018 and officially elected to retain my seat in November 2019. Since then, I’ve been able to use my decades of business experience and strategic planning skills to help our city run as efficiently and effectively as possible. Your support allows me to continue working for you and our city, I look forward to serving and engaging with you.
