VOTE411 Voter Guide

My top three priorities are strengthening infrastructure, ensuring fiscal responsibility and making county government more efficient and transparent. I want Jefferson County to manage growth proactively, invest taxpayer dollars wisely and deliver responsive, accountable government that earns the trust of the people it serves.

As a Marine Corps veteran, husband, father of four and community leader, I understand the importance of service and accountability. Professionally, I've spent more than 15 years managing complex initiatives, large budgets and diverse teams. I believe those experiences have prepared me to lead Jefferson County responsibly and effectively.

1) Expand recycling opportunities throughout the county. 2) Build a recreational center or community lake. This would give residents further access to outdoor activities such as fishing, kayaking and bicycling. 3) Protect our rural heritage.

I have a master’s degree in public administration. I volunteered at the city of Hillsboro where I was taught how to run a municipality and was able to obtain a grant for the city park. I have been one of the Jefferson County parks commissioners for more than 10 years. In this role, I learned the county processes and policies while representing the parks department.
