I’m running because local government works best when it's transparent, listens, and encourages community buy in.
I’m a father of two young kids, with one of them going to 4K at Wilson. I am involved in our community as a high school girls lacrosse coach and also advocated for responsible development that respects neighborhood character.
My professional experience solving complex problems and my community involvement prepare me to bring thoughtful, transparent leadership to the Common Council.
Residents consistently raise concerns about housing affordability, traffic safety, property taxes, and responsible development.
I support practical traffic calming near schools and busy corridors, transparent and participatory budgeting, limiting TIF, and balanced growth that expands housing choices while protecting neighborhood character.
Thoughtful planning today helps keep Wauwatosa welcoming and affordable for current and future residents of all income levels and life stages.
Opportunity starts with access.
I support expanding housing options for seniors, young families, and workers; investing in safe streets and parks; transparent communication to all in our community; and ensuring development benefits residents through local jobs and community amenities.
Wauwatosa thrives when our policies welcome people of all income levels and life stages and ensure everyone can share in the city’s success.
Climate and sustainability planning shouldn’t be an afterthought.
Wauwatosa can partner regionally to improve energy efficiency, expand tree canopy, support clean transportation, and encourage sustainable development.
These efforts lower costs, improve public health, and make our neighborhoods more resilient while ensuring the benefits reach every part of the community.
Public safety means both strong emergency services and smart prevention.
I support fully funding our first responders while also investing in traffic safety, data-driven policing, and strong community partnerships that reduce crime before it starts.
Safe neighborhoods come from collaboration, transparency, and addressing the root causes of safety concerns.
I'm running for Alderman to bring common sense leadership and help with fiscal responsibility. Drawing from 20+ years in sales leadership with Waterloo Sparkling Water and Amy's Kitchen, I'll cut through bureaucracy with practical, results-driven decisions that prioritize residents over politics. As a mid-career executive managing budgets, pricing, and margins in the beverage and organic foods sectors, I understand sound financial stewardship, ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.
Taxes: Transparent reporting on 50%+ assessment hikes; scrutinize TIFs to protect homeowners.
Safety: Fund PD hot spots policing amid high property crime, vehicle thefts.
Traffic: Speed humps, enforcement on WI Ave congestion as well as focus around school zones.
Development: Ensure incentives benefit residents; town halls for input.
Business ROI focus: Cut waste, prioritize essentials.
Housing: Vet TIFs for real workforce/senior units, no luxury subsidies shifting homeowner taxes. Also believe more apartments/condos is not what we need.
Safety/Health: Fund PD hot spots/Neighborhood Association Council programs universally, continual support of getting people out enjoying all activities throughout the year.
Jobs: Tie developments (ex. Mayfair/SCHEELS) to local hiring hubs.
Fiscal focus: Transparent budgets ensure core services for all.
Not too familiar with this, so I would be an active listener and collaborate with my fellow common council members to devise the best plan moving forward.
Prioritizing full funding for police, fire and essential services without wasteful spending. Initiatives like hot spots policing, utilizing drones when that is an option, and stricter penalties for reckless driving, similar to what Milwaukee just recently passed. Open to reviewing additional traffic calming devices that could assist with the speeding issues we often deal with.
