I'm running for City Council because I want to ensure that our city is reinforcing and maintaining the infrastructure we have and growing the local economy.
My education in Business Admin and Entrepreneurship from the Marshall School was focused on how to encourage entrepreneurship and creative problem-solving. From my military experience, I found that clear, selfless, and responsive leadership creates strong and unified organizations, and I want to bring that to the Council.
I think that holding public sounding forums for Kellerites to interact with and speak with their Council Members would help restore some trust and transparency with the public. Being clear about vs. obfuscating why you're doing something would go a long way, too.
Leaders should be comfortable tabling a course of action if it's clear the public doesn't endorse it, rather than coming to the dais set on a course of action and closed to feedback from their constituents.
As Americans, we need to ensure that there is a seat at the table for the many diverse voices that live in, work in, and serve our community.
We need to enshrine protections for folks so they don't fear retaliation or backlash for being and expressing themselves.
As representatives of Keller and the folks who live here, we can't make statements that create an environment where anyone (especially groups that have traditionally been marginalized) feel unwelcome or unsafe.
The city already cooperated with ICE before signing the 287(g) agreement. 287(g), from what the Council have said and we've seen in the months since signed, hasn't changed much. I would maintain the amount of cooperation we've traditionally shown with Immigration Enforcement, and I see no reason to offer more beyond that.
Our city is reaching a crux: we will most likely go over 50k population in the upcoming 2030 census, and there will be a cascading series of new responsibilities we will have to take on. Preparing in the next 4-5 years for those responsibilities (and reinforcing the infrastructure we currently have) are paramount.

Long-time Keller resident committed to service and keeping Keller a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire. I served six years in the U.S. Army, including overseas deployments, then earned my bachelor’s and PhD in Biology using the G.I. Bill. I work for Texas A&M and have served as a school board trustee. My wife and I are raising three kids here in Keller.
I’m a Keller dad who cares deeply about our community. As a longtime resident, Army veteran, Aggie, and active community member, I believe in serving others and protecting what makes Keller strong. Safe neighborhoods, small-town values, family-friendly character, great parks, and vibrant local businesses are what make Keller special.
Keller is a special place because of its strong, family-centered community and engaged residents, and that means keeping people informed and involved. My priorities are maintaining strong public safety, keeping taxes low, ensuring dependable infrastructure, supporting local businesses, and protecting the small-town, family-centered character that draws so many families here.
Keller is Texas’s most family-friendly city. Families are at the heart of what makes our community special, and it’s also a place people choose to stay and retire. My focus is on keeping Keller safe, supporting our first responders, maintaining low taxes, and protecting the quality of life our residents expect.
Public safety is a top priority, and I support our law enforcement, fire, and first responders in keeping Keller safe. My focus is making sure they have the resources they need to do their jobs effectively. Safe neighborhoods, low taxes, a family-friendly character, great parks, vibrant local businesses, and our small-town feel are what make Keller special—and what draw so many families and people to retire here.
Keller is a great place to raise a family or retire, and with that comes the need for dependable roads and utilities, strong police and fire, and thoughtful planning. Managing these needs responsibly while preserving our small-town feel, strong values, and quality of life is one of our biggest challenges. Addressing this requires careful budgeting, long-range planning, and listening to residents.
