I am a passionate public servant and an advocate of citizen’s rights.
I believe now is the time for responsible government. We need to create a budget and operate within those parameters.
We have seen a lot of changes in our community, especially within the last few years. I want to help keep this community thriving with a bustling economy and increasing job opportunity, while protecting Mill Creek's livability.
Top 3 Issues
If elected, I would choose these three top priorities to focus on: public safety, promoting small business, and community livability.
Public Safety: I have an experienced perspective in the field of public safety since I have worked in law enforcement for the last thirteen years. I want to encourage more neighborhood watch programs in our community. It is important that we take an active role and work together with law enforcement. Also, I want to make sure that our first responders, Police and Fire, have all the modern tools and training to perform their trade effectively. I have held several Union/Guild positions over the years, including serving on the executive board with the bargaining unit for Corrections. I would be able to work closely with the unions to ensure that these heroes are treated fairly, while avoiding unnecessary and expensive litigation.
Promoting Small Business: In the past few years, we have seen large corporations and big chain stores take a large piece of the consumer market. Although these developments can be good for growth, I think it is important to not forget about the importance of small businesses. In a community such as ours, small businesses can help create a unique character that will bring consumers to Mill Creek. As the economy turns, this can be an era for the entrepreneur. I would like Mill Creek to be the draw for these small businesses by promoting incentives for small businesses and their employees.
Community Livability: This community needs a center for its youth and senior populations. We need to create an infrastructure to support our growing city. I would like the City Council to help provide programs and activities that maintain and increase the quality of life of our citizens.

In the Community
Over the years, my wife and I have raised our two wonderful children with many memories of coaching baseball, floor hockey, football, and basketball. As a family, we have also prepared food and fed homeless teens as well as taken part with various community projects through our church.
