I lead with discipline and clear priorities. First, I will restore fiscal responsibility by cutting waste, reducing our city property tax rate, and rebuilding our reserves. Second, I will grow our local economy by attracting businesses that bring jobs and sales tax revenue. That means putting families first, focusing on results, and holding government to a higher standard. Leadership is about service, and I am here to serve with accountability and action.
I know what it’s like to struggle. I grew up in poverty, and that drives everything I do. True affordability means reducing the full cost of living, not just focusing on housing supply. I support lowering property taxes, protecting homeownership, and eliminating regulatory barriers that make housing more expensive. I want more families to buy and build here, not just rent. We need a city that values ownership, stability, and financial freedom.
I support disciplined growth that respects our community and protects what makes Vineyard special. That means no more subsidizing high-density housing that does not pay for itself. I will prioritize infrastructure-first planning, stronger development agreements, and protections for parks and trails. We can grow wisely and still preserve open space and rural charm. It just takes clear priorities, firm negotiations, and putting residents ahead of developer profits.
Regional challenges demand regional cooperation. My leadership style is collaborative but firm. I have led large teams and multi-agency efforts in the military, and I will bring that same approach here. We need stronger relationships with Orem, UTA, and the county to manage growth, transportation, and economic development. I will represent Vineyard with clarity and competence and make sure our voice is heard in every conversation.
A sustainable Vineyard is one where families thrive, taxes are low, and local jobs reduce the need to commute. I want a city that grows smart, spends wisely, and protects its open spaces. I will support financial policies that restore reserves and infrastructure plans that match our long-term vision. When we prioritize business development and local control, we can lower taxes, strengthen the economy, and leave something better for the next generation.

My two biggest priorities for the city both involve bridging the knowledge gap between the public and government through transparency and accountability. Short-term, I want to create a projects page on our website where we provide key milestone updates for all major projects in a simple format. Long-term, we should invest in ongoing communication efforts to help members of our public be more involved in the decision-making process. This would include regular townhalls and an updated strategic plan for our government operations.
The issue with making an amazing community is it comes with demand to be here. This causes a ton of market pressure which naturally increases housing costs. The city has done a good job planning for multiple density levels, but we’ve got to get creative with housing types and encourage more “missing middle” housing as long-term investments. Most of our townhomes and condos have become nonowner-occupied managed rentals which defeats the purpose of them helping lower income families begin to invest in their communities. I would support efforts to rezone our intended single-family homes zoning and mid-density townhome areas to incentivize what the community had hoped these would be originally.
While earlier developments didn’t have as much open space, the city has done well planning for open space in recent years. Moving forward, I support existing plans for open spaces and will ensure community open space in our final plans for the northwestern quarter of our city. Housing development is limited in that area due to its historic industrial uses and existing proximity to high-density housing so we can plan for even more open space in these areas. The city will begin collecting a park facility impact fee starting in this budget year. This will be essential to ensuring new developments support our open space needs as a community.
I have positive existing relationships with elected officials and staff at our neighboring cities and UTA through working at the county. I believe I’ve built a reputation of trust, fairness, and solution-oriented decision-making with our partners. Our partners at the state are key to addressing challenges as well. I’ll coordinate with all of our partners through open conversation, regular updates, attending regional coordinating meetings, and continuing to work with them on our city's most pressing regional issues.
A sustainable future is looking at things from a long-term perspective. I’ve planted my roots here in Vineyard for the long haul. I love our community and don’t have any desire to do anything more than serve it, keep it great, and make it even better. This requires investing in our future and taking the time to bring the public along with us in those decisions. It’s easy to score points by providing short-terms ‘wins’ like cutting taxes without decreasing spending or increasing services without identifying ongoing revenue to pay for them because it’s a future council that ends up paying for it. While our federal government does this with the $36.1T credit limit, these types of short-sighted actions quickly lead to crisis at the local level.
