How long have you lived in Hamilton County?
What is the greatest challenge you anticipate facing if you are elected?
What characteristics do you possess and/or what life experiences have you had that make you believe that you are the most qualified person for this office?
I was born at Erlanger Hospital and have spent the majority of my life in Hamilton County. I went to school here, built my career here, and my wife and I are raising our family here. This community is home in every sense of the word. I care deeply about Hamilton County, the people who live here, and the future we are building together. It is a privilege to serve District 6, and I am proud to do this work on behalf of the people I call neighbors.
One of the greatest challenges we will face is managing growth in a responsible way. Hamilton County is growing quickly, and with that growth comes increased pressure on our infrastructure, our schools, and our housing market. We must plan carefully so that we are building the roads, schools, and public services our community needs while also protecting the quality of life that makes Hamilton County such a special place to live. That means making smart, long-term decisions, investing wisely in infrastructure and education, and working collaboratively with our city and state partners to ensure we are prepared not just for today, but for the future.
Effective public service requires listening to others, learning from every perspective, and having the courage to stand up for your community. My professional background has been in sales and business, where success depends on listening carefully, understanding people’s needs, and finding practical solutions. Those skills translate directly into public service.
During my time on the County Commission, I have worked to be a thoughtful, collaborative leader focused on solving problems and delivering results. I care deeply about this community, and my decisions are guided by what will make Hamilton County a better place to live, work, and raise a family, not just today, but for the future. I believe my experience, my willingness to listen, and my commitment to this community make me well qualified to continue serving District 6.
