Tell us a little about yourself.
I am fiercely proud to call Rock Springs my home. I’m the first generation in five to make Rock Springs home again.
My wife and I are raising our two daughters here and I am committed to working for a future where they can have the same privilege of Rock Springs as their home.
I have invested energy in our community by serving as clerk for the Sweetwater #1 School District Board of Trustees, vice-chair of the Wyoming State Board of Education, chair of the Sweetwater BOCES Board, secretary of the Rock Springs Amateur Hockey Association Board, and as a board member of the Holy Spirit Catholic School Board as well as having served on the Rock Springs Soccer Association Board and United Way of Southwest Wyoming Board.
I am a business owner who knows the value of taking care of your employees and community.
What do you see as the most important issues in your candidacy and how will you address them?
My top priorities are:
1. Growing citizen engagement with city government by engaging Rock Springs community members and organizations.
2. Setting a sustainable fiscal path for our city.
3. Supporting entrepreneurship as the key to creating jobs and retaining our young residents. Creating an entrepreneurial culture will require partnerships among the education, industry, and finance sectors.
4. Nurturing the development of both small and large businesses. We need to take advantage of outside funding and build incentives for redevelopment to encourage investment in Rock Springs.
5. Taking care of assets and investments such as downtown, business parks, recreational facilities, and other places that the citizens of Rock Springs value.
6. Supporting education and workforce development. High-quality education and training play a crucial role in extending opportunities in Rock Springs. We need to create a strong pathway from Pre-K through post-secondary education to develop talent and economic success for traditional college-bound, career technical students, and those who will go into military service.
