I am running for Mayor because I care deeply about Ranchester and believe leadership is about stewardship, not politics. Our community is entering a period of opportunity and growth, and the decisions we make today will shape our town for generations. Those decisions deserve preparation, sound judgment, and a willingness to do the work before casting a vote.

During my eight years on the Town Council, I have learned that good leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room. It’s about listening, asking thoughtful questions, respecting professional expertise, understanding budgets and ordinances, and making decisions based on facts rather than emotion.

As a business owner, Navy veteran, and risk management professional, I understand the importance of planning ahead, protecting taxpayer resources, and remaining calm when difficult decisions must be made. I want Ranchester to continue being a safe, financially responsible community that preserves its small-town character while preparing responsibly for future growth.

My commitment is simple: to serve every resident with integrity, transparency, and respect while making decisions that protect what generations before us built and prepare our community for generations yet to come.

1. Fiscal Responsibility & Long-Term Planning
Protect taxpayer dollars through responsible budgeting, strategic planning, and infrastructure investment while preparing Ranchester for future opportunities without compromising financial stability.

2. Public Safety & Essential Services
Support our Marshal’s Office, first responders, and public works employees while maintaining reliable infrastructure, water resources, and the services residents depend on every day.

3. Responsible Growth & Community Stewardship
Guide growth thoughtfully by preserving Ranchester’s small-town character, protecting property rights, supporting local businesses, and making decisions that strengthen our community for future generations.
