Technologist and innovator with 20+ years turning complex problems into working systems for 1000+ small businesses and Fortune 500s. I’ve built companies, led teams, negotiated complex deals, and advised political campaigns. I am a 28-year Fort Bend resident and immigrant, I understand our county’s growth and the challenges being faced by old and new residents alike. I keep adapting to technology trends and I’m ready to deliver practical and detailed plans that solve real problems for my county.
Two urgent issues in Fort Bend: dysfunction on Commissioners Court and how to grow revenue in an AI era without raising taxes. I will lower the temperature and center decency: adopt a code of conduct, publish plain language decision notes, seat bipartisan working teams, and hold monthly open briefings with a cross community council so every faith and culture feels welcome and safe. On revenue and AI, I will open a one stop permit and business help center with service standards, launch Local First purchasing, expand year round events to keep spending here, and start a countywide AI Readiness program with clear privacy rules and free training for all residents, nonprofits and small businesses.

Born and raised in Fort Bend County, I bring 25 years of experience as a prosecutor, founding partner of a law firm, district judge, and administrative judge. I oversee court operations, serve as Chair of the Purchasing Board, work closely with Commissioners Court, and partner with nonprofits serving our community, giving me a true pulse of the people’s needs. As a dedicated steward, I will root out corruption, provide ethical leadership, and unite Fort Bend County as its next County Judge.
A pressing issue in Fort Bend County is managing growth to keep pace with infrastructure, transportation, and community services. I will work closely with city leaders, local businesses, and chambers of commerce to ensure development is responsible, strengthens communities, and meets residents’ needs.
Equally important is workforce development and economic opportunity. I will champion programs that expand job training, support small businesses, and invest in underserved areas, ensuring economic growth benefits all residents. By connecting education, training, and community resources, we can build a stronger, more equitable future for every resident in Fort Bend County.
I grew up in Fort Bend County and have dedicated my career to public service. I’m the only candidate with extensive federal and local experience, from serving in President Obama’s administration expanding access to quality education to supporting students and educators in Fort Bend ISD. As County Commissioner, Precinct 4, I’ve delivered results—hosting 30+ town halls, expanding internet access, fixing roads, improving healthcare access, raising wages, and modernizing county government.
I will prioritize affordability & transportation. Fort Bend faces rising costs, infrastructure strain, & dangerous commutes that affect quality of life. On affordability, I will champion responsible budgeting, transparent spending, & targeted tax relief for residents. We must grow our commercial tax base & attract quality jobs so infrastructure costs aren’t placed solely on homeowners and renters. On transportation, I will support roadway improvements, congestion reduction, & expanded transit options like microtransit and park-and-ride. Transportation planning must be equitable, forward-looking & connect residents to jobs, schools, & healthcare. Mobility should never determine opportunity.
I am a Texas attorney with over fifteen years of experience in state and federal courts. I also serve as an Associate Municipal Court Judge, presiding over cases as assigned. Earlier in my career, I worked as a middle school teacher, strengthening my communication and leadership skills. As a law practice owner, I manage operations and finances. These experiences prepare me for the responsibilities of the Office of Fort Bend County Judge.
The two most pressing issues facing Fort Bend County are road congestion and infrastructure strain caused by rapid growth. As County Judge, I would work with Commissioners Court to prioritize road improvements, drainage, and mobility projects based on safety, need, and long-term impact. My focus would be on planning ahead, coordinating with cities and regional partners, and using taxpayer dollars efficiently. Addressing infrastructure proactively is essential to supporting growth while protecting quality of life for residents across the county.
I have been in leadership positions since enlisting in the U.S. Army. I have trained large organizations to lead large organizations. I have direct experience in Homeland Security, Emergency Services and Veterans Services. The County Judge has direct responsibility over these departments as shown on the County’s Organization Chart. I believe my military leadership expertise coupled with my legal background make me the best Candidate. This election is not about education but leadership.
(1) Lack of integrity and transparency (2) Fiscal responsibility. The first is addressed by setting the example. No "back room" deals that leave the residents wondering who is getting rich. Ensure that all County Employees follow the Code of Ethics. The 2d one is harder because I'm not the only vote. The goals would be to immediately stop budget deficits; identify and eliminate unnecessary expenditures; and eliminate the County’s debt as quickly as practicable. I cannot get tax reductions as long as the County is in debt. No tax increases. Identify opportunities for new revenue. Add industry to the tax base. Maximize use of State/Federal dollars. "Right Size" the County workforce.

I am a business owner of 20 plus years with knowledge in Commercial/Residential Real Estate, Construction, Mortgage and Insurance. I hold a bachelor's degree in business management with a minor in Human Resources. I have also held in the past a couple securities licenses as well which allowed me to prepare customers for retirement through life insurance products. As the county CEO, I would be well equipped to handle and address the needs in all aspects of the county government.
The first most pressing issue that I see in our county government is the lack of allocating county funds properly to much needed services that we use in our court system daily. One example is Child Advocates of Fort Bend and the lack of attention they are receiving when in fact we utilize this nonprofit daily in our court rooms. I would like to see our non-profits that cater to our community needs receive their fair share of county funding.
The second most pressing issue is law and order and safety of our residents. Our current Sheriff department should receive enough funding to be able to compete with neighboring agencies, so we are not losing our skilled men and women due to lack of pay.
I am the most qualified candidate because I have led at scale in both the public and private sectors. I hold a Ph.D. in engineering and lead an engineering firm with over 400 employees and 13 offices across multiple states. I have served three terms on Sugar Land city council and currently oversee a state board budget more than seven times larger than Fort Bend County’s, giving me unmatched experience managing complex operations and taxpayer dollars.
The two most pressing issues facing Fort Bend County are rising property taxes and infrastructure strain from rapid growth. As County Judge, I will focus on fiscal discipline by auditing spending, prioritizing essential services, and preventing waste so families are not taxed out of their homes. I will also address infrastructure and flood control by applying my engineering expertise to improve roads, drainage, and flood mitigation while holding developers accountable to ensure growth is responsible, safe, and sustainable.
I served 5 years on FBISD and 7 years as Fort Bend County Judge which means I need no "on the job" training. Since taking office, Fort Bend has had no tax rate increase, while providing superior services with a focus on infrastructure, mobility and public safety. My office successfully secured over $600 million in grants to provide critical services at little or no cost to taxpayers. I also led the effort for the construction of a state-of-the-art Emergency Operations Center.
Public Safety is my top priority. Our office will continue funding public safety and pursue every available dollar in grant funding. Our Office of Emergency Management will continue to provide emergency services across Fort Bend County and support local jurisdictions. Economic Development is also important so that Fort Bend County continues its dynamic growth where residents have the best place to live and work. It is vital that Fort Bend continues to attract businesses to our community so that Fort Bend residents can work where they live. I led the effort to create the Office of Economic Development in 2022 which is responsible for nearly $2 Billion in economic development projects.
