Faith and family have always been the foundation of my life. My wife, Carrie, and I are raising our four children in Thermopolis, and being her husband and their father is the role I value most. Professionally, I am a Certified Director of Safety and serve as Director of Risk Management for Ryan Bros. Trucking, where I've built a career focused on safety, leadership, and solving problems. Since being elected Mayor in 2023, I've worked to bring that same practical approach to Town Hall. My goal has never been politics, it's been making Thermopolis a better place to live, raise a family, and do business. I believe in listening first, making decisions based on facts, and treating people with respect, even when we disagree. I'm proud of what we've accomplished together and remain committed to building on that progress while keeping Thermopolis the kind of community we're proud to call home. Rooted in Legacy. Rooted in Results. Punch Above Your Weight.

I've spent the last 4 years building relationships and working hard to make our money into more money.

Three years ago, the people of Thermopolis trusted me to serve as your Mayor. Since then, we've built an outstanding team of employees, department heads, elected officials, and community partners who care deeply about this town and are committed to moving it forward.

I'm running for another term because our work isn't finished. Together we've secured millions of dollars in grant funding for critical infrastructure, strengthened our departments, improved communication with residents, and focused on making Town Hall more responsive and accessible. Those accomplishments belong to our entire team, and I'm proud of what we've achieved together.

Thermopolis has tremendous potential. I want to continue building on the momentum we've created by investing wisely, supporting our employees, and making thoughtful decisions that will benefit our community not just today, but for years to come. My commitment remains the same as it was on day one: lead with integrity, listen to our residents, and always put the long-term interests of Thermopolis first.

1. Investing in Infrastructure
Continue improving our streets, utilities, and public facilities by aggressively pursuing grant funding and outside resources. Every dollar we can bring into Thermopolis is a dollar that helps reduce the burden on our local taxpayers while preparing our community for the future.

2. Strengthening Town Government
Continue building strong departments by supporting our employees, providing the tools they need to succeed, and ensuring the Town delivers dependable, professional service. Good government starts with good people.

3. Improving Communication and Accessibility
Residents deserve a government that is open, responsive, and easy to work with. That means continuing to expand communication, embracing technology where it makes sense, increasing transparency, and making it easier for citizens to access services, ask questions, and stay informed.
