My priority is always the people who call Milton home. Every decision I make will be rooted in what’s best for our residents, families, and local businesses.
I want Milton to continue being a safe and welcoming place where families can thrive, neighbors look out for one another, and everyone feels a sense of belonging.
From parks and community programs to road maintenance and public safety, I will work to ensure Milton’s essential services are dependable, efficient, and well-supported.
Milton deserves careful, responsible management of tax dollars. I will ensure we maintain a balanced budget and invest wisely in the projects that matter most.
I believe in collaboration—not division. Working side by side with residents, local organizations, and city staff, we can continue building a stronger Milton for everyone.
A mayor should always be approachable and ready to listen. I’m committed to open communication, transparency, and making sure every voice has a chance to be heard.
Our family has always loved the city of Milton. For 20 years, my family has called Milton home. I’ve raised my family here, attended church, FME Chamber events, attended city of Milton, Fife, and Edgewood community events, and shared successes and challenges that make this city so special. Milton is not just a place on the map—it’s a community I greatly respect, and I enjoy playing a part.
My commitment to Milton goes far beyond city hall. I am proud to have served on the executive board of the FME Chamber of Commerce, working to foster local businesses and economic growth. As president of the Milton Police Foundation, I helped support our officers and ensure they had the tools and training necessary to keep us safe. And as an assistant instructor at the Karate Edge in Edgewood, I have the privilege of working with youth and adults, teaching discipline, confidence, and respect—values that make Milton stronger.
A thriving city needs reliable infrastructure. That’s why I’ve worked to make the quality and supply of our water the best it can be, with plans for the deep well to be operational by the summer 2026. This project will increase and safeguard our drinking water for generations to come. I also will focus my energy on getting the substation retrofitted. Our city’s utility departments are crucial to the city’s longevity. It is imperative that the city keep control of the power, water, and stormwater. Maintenance performed by Public Works is also a crucial part of our traffic safety efforts, and I am committed to keeping our streets in excellent condition, supporting both mobility and public safety.
Over the past 8 years, I’ve had the honor of serving as one of your city councilpersons, and for the last 2 years, as Mayor Pro Tem. Through these roles, I’ve been privileged to work alongside so many dedicated individuals, always striving to make our city better. As a member of both the Finance and Public Safety Committees, I have focused on ensuring that Milton remains fiscally responsible while prioritizing the safety of every resident. I know how important it is to manage our city’s resources wisely and protect the wellbeing of our families.
Milton is a city of possibility—a place where every resident should feel free and safe to walk, bike, and enjoy our beautiful neighborhoods. I envision a community where families can stroll through tree-lined streets, children can walk to school, and seniors can enjoy our parks. Achieving this vision means managing our growth carefully, so that we remain true to the character and charm that drew us here in the first place.
