Keep the Amtrak station project moving. Strengthen public works with better streets, sidewalks and infrastructure maintenance. Support our police and fire departments with the staffing, training and equipment they need to keep our community safe. Most importantly, spending taxpayers’ money wisely, prioritizing needs, cutting waste and keeping our budget responsible.
I’ve been a business owner for over 35 years in De Soto and Festus, served five years on the Missouri State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors, and have served as De Soto mayor pro tem and city councilman since 2023. I understand budgeting, public safety, infrastructure and responsible growth, and I’m committed to spending taxpayer dollars wisely.

1). Prioritizing essential services and infrastructure over wants to ensure your hard-earned money is spent wisely. 2). I will lead the charge to identify and clean up vacant and abandoned properties that bring down our property values. 3). I am running to be your voice. I want to hear what you need and what your vision is for a better De Soto.

I grew up in the Scouts, and I know that when we work together we can accomplish more. When government is too busy fighting each other, who is fighting for you? I am always open to new ideas and new views to find solutions to problems. I am a big advocate of helping one's neighbors, making a community safe and making sure tax dollars are spent responsibly.
