My Bio
Leader Built on Service, Family, Selfless Service and Community
A retired U.S. Army veteran with more than twenty years of service and multiple combat tours, he brings the same sense of duty and purpose to civilian life that guided him in uniform. Discipline, integrity, and leadership remain at the heart of everything he does.
After retiring from the Army, he put down roots in Columbus, Georgia, where he quickly became part of the community. His belief is simple: progress begins with hard work and a shared commitment to one another.
Actively involved in local initiatives, youth programs, and volunteer efforts, he works every day to build a safer and more united Columbus. Whether mentoring young people, supporting local nonprofits, or stepping in wherever help is needed, he leads by example.
Originally from Rochester, New York, his journey to Georgia reflects a deep belief in faith, family, and community spirit. He is not running to be another politician. He is running to be a voice for the people, a bridge between the community and city hall, and a leader who shows up when it matters most.
My Key Issues
Crime and Public Safety
Every neighborhood deserves to feel safe. Reducing crime starts with restoring trust between law enforcement and the community. That means supporting our police officers with the training, staffing, and technology they need, while also investing in prevention, not just punishment. Safer streets come from accountability, communication, and a shared commitment to protecting one another.
Homelessness and Poverty
No one should be punished for falling on hard times. Addressing homelessness and poverty requires compassion and common sense, access to mental health services, affordable housing, and job opportunities. The goal is to lift people up, not lock them up. When we help people rebuild their lives, we strengthen the entire city.
Youth Engagement
The future of Columbus rests with its young people. It is time to give them real options, mentorship programs, trade training, sports, and creative outlets that keep them focused and inspired. Investing in our youth reduces crime, builds confidence, and creates the next generation of leaders who take pride in their city.
Infrastructure
Strong infrastructure is the foundation of growth, but it is not just about new construction. Columbus must repair and rebuild the neighborhoods, roads, and public spaces that already exist. When we invest in what we have, we strengthen the heart of the community. Modernizing roads, bridges, and utilities will help attract new businesses while improving daily life for residents. Reliable infrastructure is about more than convenience, it is about safety, pride, and preparing our city for the future. Rebuilding our neighborhoods creates jobs, restores value, and reminds everyone that progress begins right where we live.
Economic Growth
True economic growth means more than just numbers on a chart, it means good-paying jobs, thriving small businesses, and opportunities that reach every corner of the city. Columbus has the talent and potential to become a hub for innovation, manufacturing, and technology. By creating the right environment, we can bring in new investment while supporting the businesses that built this community.
