I was born in San Diego, CA, and grow up in Sedona, AZ then moved to Durango, CO. After high school I joined the Navy serving on the USS Scranton nuclear fast attack submarine. My MOS was a Torpedoman's Mate which is a weapons expert on a submarine. After the Navy, I did pest control for several years. I owned two different pest control businesses in Virginia which were startups. I joined the Maryland Army National Guard after 911. Later, I moved to Oklahoma where I earned a CDL and drove a cement mixer truck for two years. My next job was becoming a CNA/CMA in Oklahoma and maintained my certifications when I moved to Wyoming. I was hired to work at the Wyoming Life Resource Center (WLRC) and Community Entry Services (CES). I've lived in Riverton for over sixteen years.

I have no political experience, but no one starts off with experience. This is the first time I have run for political office. Experience is not the only qualification for leadership. A mayor's job is about listening to people, making decisions, building teams, solving problems, and being accountable to the community.

My courses of study are business management, accounting, Elementary education, and Psychology. Later year I was enrolled to finish an associate's degree in psychology at CWC, but because of a medical condition I was unable to attend.

I currently have applied to be on the district #25 School Recreation Board. I have not had the opportunity to be more involved in the community.

"It's time for a change" in our current city council. Leadership is part of the problem in our city.

Improving the side roads in the city.
Bring more activities and businesses to the city that are geared towards the younger population.
Helping our police department to grow and receive pay that they deserve.
