My top three priorities are to implement the 3rd Ward Revitalization Plan, continue to grow the tax base responsibly and continue to invest in our community infrastructure including streets, parks and public safety.
I am a business owner and lawyer with over 20 years of experience serving the U City community. U City is experiencing its first period of major growth. At times like this, I think leadership and experience matter.

As co‑founder of the stormwater task force and founder of the 3rd Ward Revitalization Fund, I will work with the Metropolitan Sewer District to address flooding in every ward and activate the fund for Ward 3 residents. I’m also committed to restoring our parks and golf course for the people of University City.
Because of my 10 years as a council member and 12 years as a neighborhood association president, I bring deep experience in delivering results. I’ve passed legislation improving services, improved our streets, stood up to MSD, earned Missouri Municipal League Certified Elected Official status and secured vital economic development dollars for our city and school district.
