I’m a sixth-generation rancher. My family owns Circle B Ranch.
Filing County
Sandoval
I’m a sixth-generation rancher at Circle B Ranch, and that’s where my qualifications start. Ranching isn’t just a job; it’s a masterclass in responsibility. As a Commissioner for the Cabezon Livestock Pipeline Association, I helped lead the charge to bring water to Cabezon and San Luis. As President of the Bernalillo Public School Board, I’ve spent years navigating complex budgets and advocating for our families.
My approach to our county’s priorities is built on the same values I use to run Circle B Ranch: hard work, accountability, and looking out for your neighbors. When we face challenges like water security or crumbling roads, we can't just talk,we have to take responsibility and fix what’s broken. I’ll work across our diverse communities, from Bernalillo to the rural areas, to ensure every family has the infrastructure and safety they deserve. I’m not here to play politics; I’m here to do the work.
To better inform our citizens, we need to meet people where they are—not just expect them to find us. I’ll push for more accessible, plain-language summaries of Commission priorities sent directly to residents before major votes, ensuring you don't need a law degree to understand how a decision affects your ranch or your neighborhood.
I’ll also advocate for holding town halls across the district—from Bernalillo to the more rural areas—so I can listen to your concerns face-to-face.
We can’t grow beyond what our water supports. In our arid state, every new project must be tied to a proven, sustainable water supply—it’s about stewardship, not just expansion.
I believe the County must be a proactive partner to our incorporated communities. If a municipality is overwhelmed, it’s our job as neighbors to step up with resources to protect families and livestock. Whether in Bernalillo or our rural stretches, I’ll work to ensure animal control is handled effectively across the board. Coordination saves money and keeps our communities safer.

Occupation
Advancement Strategist
Filing County
Sandoval
My leadership is grounded in years of public service, including serving as President of the San Antonio de las Huertas Land Grant and as Vice Chair of the New Mexico Land Grant Council. In these roles, I worked across state, federal, tribal, and local governments to protect land, water, and communal interests. I now serve as an Advancement Strategist, where I continue to build partnerships, secure resources, and assist with long‑term community development.
The thing I place first is the protection and conservation of Sandoval County's water resources since water is a necessity in New Mexico and it is essential to our future that we guard our aquifers and watersheds. I am going to work on keeping the natural flow of water from the Sandia Mountains to the Rio Grande, will oppose any development projects that put at risk our already scarce water supply, and will support responsible growth that combines economic opportunity with Sustainability.
I believe technology should make county government more open and accessible. With a background in Information Systems and Business, I would improve information sharing by creating clearer, easier-to-understand summaries of agenda items, expanding digital notifications, and making the county website more user-friendly. I would also combine these tools with in-person community updates and outreach. This way, residents receive information early and in ways that work for them.
My family has been connected to the land and water of New Mexico since 1765, when we settled in Placitas. Today, the state is using more water than the land and climate can handle. When springs or acequias run dry, entire communities feel the effects. Counties can help by protecting watersheds, making sure new development matches real water supplies, respecting traditional water uses, being more transparent, and pushing for better data. Water is essential to life.
Sandoval County should coordinate with incorporated communities when animal control issues affect public safety, shared roads, or regional resources. While incorporated areas manage their own animal control, the county can offer support, expertise, and collaboration when problems such as roaming or feral animals cross boundaries or affect surrounding communities. A cooperative approach protects residents, reduces costs, and ensures humane and consistent management across the county.
