I want to serve on the Frisco City Council to support the people and priorities that make our city strong, safe, and connected. My focus is on preserving our community values while planning responsibly for continued growth. I have contributed through community engagement, supporting veterans, advocating for adults with special needs, and promoting partnerships that help all residents thrive.
Frisco will continue to experience rapid growth, and we must plan for it intentionally. I expect increased demands on infrastructure, transportation, public safety, and community services. My goal is to support smart, responsible planning that aligns growth with city resources so we maintain the high quality of life Frisco is known for.
Traffic congestion and roadway safety remain major concerns as Frisco grows. I support forward-looking transportation planning, enhanced traffic-management technology, and collaboration with regional partners to address shared corridors. Pedestrian, cyclist, and school-zone safety must remain top priorities as we continue building out our road network.
Beyond roads, Frisco must ensure utilities, public facilities, and city services keep pace with our population. I support revitalizing established areas, strengthening infrastructure in older neighborhoods, and coordinating regionally to improve shared systems like water and public services. Long-range planning will help us invest wisely and avoid reactive, costly fixes.
I support responsible, purpose-driven spending that aligns with smart growth and protects taxpayer resources. Capital improvements should be prioritized based on community need and long-term benefit, not just rapid development. Strengthening regional partnerships can also help reduce costs and improve efficiency for major projects.
My vision for housing includes balanced, thoughtful development that preserves Frisco’s character while preparing for future growth. I support reinvestment in established areas and careful zoning decisions that ensure infrastructure and schools can support new development. The City Council should promote growth that enhances neighborhoods rather than strains them.
Public safety is a top priority, and I support continued investment in police and fire staffing, training, and technology. As Frisco grows, we must maintain strong emergency response times and community-focused safety initiatives. Preparing for future challenges means ensuring first responders have the resources and facilities needed to protect all residents.
Frisco must continue strengthening services for veterans, adults with special needs, and underserved communities. Supporting job growth through sectors like technology, cybersecurity, and medical research will help sustain our economy. Regional collaboration, community engagement, and equitable access to services will be critical as our city evolves.

Frisco needs change and leadership that listens to residents. I will help guide Frisco’s transition from a fast-growth city into a well-managed, mature community. Council decisions must reflect the needs of all residents and Frisco’s growing and diverse population. As the Former Frisco Fire Chief, I bring more than 20 years of executive leadership in government, managing complex organizations, budgets, and partnerships. I believe council members should listen, seek broad input, and make transparent, data-driven decisions in the long-term interests of the community.
redevelopment, increased density, aging infrastructure, and rising operational costs. The city is shifting from rapid expansion to an emphasis on maintenance, reinvestment, and fiscal sustainability. I would focus on strengthening long-range planning, regularly reviewing assumptions, and ensuring council decisions are supported by resident input and professional analysis. Regional coordination is essential, as traffic, water, and emergency response do not stop at city boundaries. Preparing for change requires deliberate, well-informed choices.
Traffic congestion is one of the most visible challenges facing Frisco residents. East-west mobility, overloaded intersections, neighborhood cut-through traffic, and limited alternatives affect daily quality of life. Addressing these issues requires more than isolated projects. The city must integrate transportation planning with land use, redevelopment, and regional coordination. I support data-driven traffic studies, transparent project selection, coordination with TxDOT and neighboring cities, and the use of IT to support smart traffic solutions. Transportation investments should focus on s
As Frisco matures, infrastructure in older areas requires focused attention. Roads, drainage, water, wastewater, public facilities, and technology systems must be maintained and upgraded to remain reliable and safe. Aging infrastructure should be addressed alongside future capacity needs through proactive maintenance, realistic capital planning, and clear accountability. Using data, condition assessments, and transparent prioritization will help ensure investments are targeted where they are most needed. Investing in older areas protects neighborhoods, reduces long-term costs, and ensures serv
City spending should prioritize core services, infrastructure, and public safety while respecting taxpayers. Capital projects should receive careful review, stronger cost controls, and clear return-on-investment metrics. The city should reduce reliance on bonds for capital equipment and establish a dedicated capital equipment fund. Maintaining competitive police and fire salaries is essential to recruitment and retention. Transparency, strong reserves, and long-term financial sustainability should guide every budget decision.
My vision for housing in Frisco emphasizes balance, predictability, and as much affordability as possible. The city needs a mix of housing types that support families, seniors, and the workforce, including options that allow teachers, first responders, and service workers to live in the community. Density must align with infrastructure capacity and neighborhood character. City Council should ensure zoning decisions are consistent with the comprehensive plan and supported by data. Redevelopment should improve walkability and neighborhood stability without overwhelming infrastructure, while long
Public safety must evolve with growth and emerging risks. I support continued investment in police, fire, EMS, emergency management, and disaster preparedness. This includes staffing aligned with national standards and call volume, recruitment and retention, regional coordination, and clear emergency communication. Frisco must strengthen emergency management and operate it as a fully resourced department. Current capabilities are not keeping pace with risk, and preparedness for severe weather, power disruptions, and other emergencies protects lives and reduces long-term costs.
Additional challenges facing City Council include transparency, regional water security, ethical governance, and restoring public trust. Significant change is coming, with a new mayor and potentially multiple new council members. This makes experience and stability critical. Frisco cannot afford a learning curve. I would focus on collaboration, clear communication, and fact-based decision-making. My experience allows me to contribute immediately and keep the council focused on governance during this transition.
