1). Ensure commonsense governance that is financially prudent and professionally serves the community. 2) Work to make Webster Groves an affordable place to live, especially for young professionals and families. The more diverse we are economically, the stronger we are. 3) Thrive creatively and artistically as a community and truly be a "City of the Arts."

I've been active in the community working on campaigns and supporting local initiatives since 2001. I served on the Bristol Elementary PTO and was president of the WGHS Band Aides boosters. My wife, Lauren, and I raised two boys, Owen and Beckett, who graduated from WGSD with honors. I'm a successful independent contractor and small business owner, writer and marketer.

My top three priorities are to continue to foster community engagement, support responsible development and collaborate to find creative solutions to the issues that we face now and in the future. Together we can plan for the city’s finances, support local businesses and strengthen our community.

I have experience managing large budgets, working collaboratively on teams and building consensus. I value community input, factual information and radical transparency. These skills and values have been vital in my first four years on the City Council and are necessary as we work together on the city budget and other issues. I am excited to continue to serve the city.

My top priorities are enhancing walking and biking paths to preserve Webster Groves’ small‑town character, expanding housing affordability to welcome diverse residents and strengthening local businesses so our shopping and dining options continue to thrive.

I am a longtime Webster Groves resident who is deeply committed to our community. I have served on the Webster Groves Public Library board for seven years and regularly attend City Council meetings. In my career, I am known for thoughtful problem-solving and strong analytical skills. I am looking forward to bringing that experience to the City Council.
