I have served on the Alpine City Planning Commission for the past 5 years and overall I am mostly pleased with the way our city has been guided. I am not looking to make any radical changes but more to preserve the amazing community that we have already created. One of the high prioritize for me is to more fully address water conservation in our city through greater education as well as enforcing the rules the city already has in place. Another priority is to address the traffic issues we have on Main Street and Canyon Crest when our children are going to and from school. It has been suggested to add a stop light on Main Street and a large roundabout like we currently have to the corner of Ridge Drive and Canyon Crest which I oppose.
We can address the affordable housing issue without adding high density housing. There are already many basement apartments and accessory dwellings on properties. I think we can we make it easier for our citizens to add those types of units if they desire.
Alpine has very limited building lots available so we don't face this problem like many other Utah county communities do. However I'm sure there will be increasing pressure to develop our open spaces. Just as I was committed to protecting Lambert park and played a role in passing the temporary conservation easement, I will also fight to protect our open spaces and amazing parks from future development.
Alpine has a good working relationship with the neighboring cities and I anticipate there will continue to be excellent communication and cooperation about pressing issues that we all have in common moving forward.
A sustainable Alpine is one where residents feel heard, valued, and empowered to help shape our future — we need to support our local businesses, preserve our amazing trails and outdoor access, and most importantly make sure we don't lose what's unique and special about Alpine with future growth.
Sustainability is about the balance between growth and preservation and as your city council member I’ll work to protect that balance.

I lead by listening, learning, and finding common ground. As a fourth-generation Utahn and long-time Alpine volunteer, I believe in respectful, collaborative leadership that puts residents first.
In the short term, my top priority is improving how the city communicates with residents. That means timely updates, more opportunities for public input, and transparency in decision-making. Alpine families deserve to know what’s happening and how they can be involved. Long term, my focus is on thoughtful planning. Alpine is facing increasing development pressure, and we need a clear roadmap to protect our water, roads, and open spaces while preserving what makes our community special. With strong leadership and a commitment to our shared values,
Affordable housing isn’t just about numbers. It’s about families. I want Alpine to be a place where our kids can afford to stay and raise their own families, and where aging residents aren’t priced out when they want to downsize. I support thoughtful, local solutions, including exploring accessory dwelling units, modest lot flexibility, and other gentle density options in appropriate areas. I’ll also advocate for policies that help longtime residents stay in their homes and work to keep Alpine a welcoming, multigenerational community. We can protect what makes Alpine beautiful while ensuring the people who love it most can continue to call it home.
Alpine’s General Plan reflects our community’s desire to preserve open space and our unique rural character. I support that vision and believe our best path forward is through careful, proactive planning not reactionary fear. That includes strengthening infrastructure ahead of new development, conserving water, and using tools like low-impact zoning, trail buffers, and conservation easements to shape growth wisely. I’ll work to ensure any new development reflects what residents actually want and can be supported by our systems. Alpine doesn’t need to look like every other growing city but we do need practical, local solutions to manage growth in a way that protects the place we love.
Coordinating with neighboring cities, county officials, and UTA is essential for regional issues like traffic, water, and emergency response. I support shared services when they make sense, like the Lone Peak Public Safety District. But collaboration shouldn’t mean outsourcing the heart of our community. Depending on other cities for libraries, parks, or gathering spaces means Alpine goes without the places that bring us together and help our community thrive. Regional cooperation, like connected trail planning or book-sharing program, can support our goals while helping us create spaces that truly belong to Alpine. I’ll support thoughtful collaboration, but I won’t rely on others to define Alpine’s future.
A sustainable future means prioritizing people, not just pipes and pavement. It looks like a place where families can put down roots, where youth and seniors feel supported, and where residents don’t have to leave town to feel a sense of belonging. It means protecting our open spaces and rural charm while creating opportunities to gather, serve, and grow together.
I will support projects that strengthen our community culture and promote connection. I’ll also prioritize long-term infrastructure planning that improves traffic flow, conserves water, and protects our natural resources. By balancing smart growth with intentional community-building, we can ensure Alpine remains a vibrant, connected, and sustainable place for generations to come.

I would always listen to the Alpine residents. I would be like the front desk at the Marriott, and you are the valued guest who is paying for everything to function. I would make your stay exceed your expectations so that you would never want to go to a different town.
This approach has guided my priorities, which come directly from Alpine residents: No high-density housing or overdeveloping in Alpine. Fix the speeding traffic on Canyon Crest, Grove Dr, Westfield Rd, High Bench Rd, Alpine Blvd, and Main Street—especially near the charter school. Protect mountain views and trails, and lower property taxes. Fix the water/pressurized irrigation. Create a well-planned aesthetic and walkable Main Street, and build fire breaks to protect Alpine
States like California have become unlivable due to high property taxes. I will immediately work to drop the property taxes on an Alpine city, Utah county, and Utah state level. Freezing and then lowering property taxes will make housing more affordable— giving retirees peace and young families essentially a down payment. This also removes stress from retired folks and makes it easier for families to pass down property. I’ll work for incentives to help families transfer their homes untaxed and unburdened. Schools still remain fully funded with 100% of income tax and land trust funds. I volunteer in the PTA and SCC and will work with schools to provide savings programs like the 529plan so students can begin planning early for homeownership.
It is to say no to what so many cities have succumbed to—and now wish they could go back and undo: No high-density, wall-to-wall housing which has become a disaster for traffic, crime, water usage, etc. I will work on every level to preserve Alpine’s low-density, low-crime, low-traffic, low-tax haven. This is not a community or town to overdevelop, or it will become like every other city people are trying to leave to come here from. Clearly, Alpine’s open spaces and rural character must be preserved. I will make sure, on a city, county, state, and even federal level, that our residents’ rights to preserve their city are not overridden at these upper levels—as is so often the case.
Highland and American Fork provide what many residents want: libraries, large parks, businesses, restaurants, etc. In Alpine, we provide peace, quiet, trails, and mountain rural beauty. We must preserve in Alpine the peace, quiet, and beautiful mountain rural character for ourselves and for the many neighboring citizens who come up and enjoy them—by not duplicating what these other cities already provide. This helps preserve Alpine's low traffic and low taxes by continuing to utilize other cities’ libraries and larger parks through cooperative partnerships, as we currently do. In this way, we preserve the rare beauty and value of Alpine’s quiet peace—something American Fork and Highland can no longer offer.
Alpine will remain the greatest place to retire—a place where faith, church, and God blesses everyone in the city, even if they aren't of faith. A place where everyone has a beautiful mountain view and a trail they can walk to de-stress from the world and have a quiet, introspective moment without speeding cars zooming by. This is near heaven. As an elected official, this is the place I was born in 40 years ago, and this is the place I would work tirelessly to preserve for every person who wants to enjoy this rare, valuable, top-10 city in America. To achieve this, I will make sure the resident is never undermined by the city, a developer, or the state—and that our ordinances are rock solid to protect and preserve Alpine.
