My background of 20 years of military experience gives me the leadership skills needed to represent Plano as a member of City Council.
I am an experienced leader with more than 20 years of active military service. As an officer and platoon leader in the Army deployed to Afghanistan, I was in charge of base security and subsequently responsible for the safety and security of more than 500 Soldiers and local Afghan nationals. I was also responsible for managing 18 million dollars of taxpayer funded government property without incident of fraud, waste, or abuse.
These skills are absolutely critical when dealing with city budgets, managing infrastructure, and prioritizing issues according to importance. My time as an Army officer has undoubtedly prepared me to serve you on Plano City Council, and I will do so putting your needs above mine.
I am the husband to a wonderful woman, Larci, who is my rock and confidant and who I have just celebrated 20 years of marriage with. We have two beautiful children, Hannah and Braden. I am currently a middle school social studies teacher.
I want to ensure that my children and yours are safe and protected, so I will work to provide our first responders with the equipment and resources they need to keep Plano families safe.
As a veteran, I pledge to focus on supporting our veteran community by providing solutions, opportunities and resources for veterans.
My family and I love calling Plano home. We were initially attracted to the suburban lifestyle and strong sense of local community. The values that make Plano unique are what we must work together to preserve and protect.
Transparency and accountability, are two traits that I live by and that I will bring to the City Council. The citizens of Plano need to be able to have trust in their representatives. I promise to remain accessible and keep the community informed on all government actions.
I strongly believe in fair incentives for small and large businesses. I will continue to work with our community business owners and discuss how to improve Plano’s growing economy.
I will work on finding solutions, such as better budgeting, to reduce tax burdens on our citizens.
