After nearly not surviving the transition home, I rebuilt my life through education and service. I earned my degree in Political Science from UC San Diego and a Master's in Public Administration from Harvard, where I studied national security, public finance, and evidence-based policy. I've worked at nonprofits serving combat veterans, at the Pentagon analyzing defense budgets and national security programs, and in the defense industry, where I reported waste and fraud and was terminated in retaliation.
I live in Belmont with my wife, Anne, a fellow Marine, and our two sons, one of whom has special needs. I'm the founder of ProConcordia, a civic technology startup focused on making government more transparent and accessible to everyday citizens. My background spans government, defense, aerospace, technology, and nonprofit work, and my career has centered on accountability, evidence-based decision making, and fighting for people the system overlooks.- Working families in San Mateo County are being priced out of the communities they built. My own family has experienced financial instability after I was terminated for doing the right thing. I know what it feels like to wonder whether you can stay in the place you call home. In Congress, I will push for federal incentives to build affordable housing, renter protections, and cracking down on corporate landlords who treat our neighborhoods like investment portfolios. The people of this district should not have to choose between staying close to their jobs and schools or being able to afford rent.
- Accountability for the rich and powerful. I've seen corruption from the inside. I worked at the Pentagon, then moved into the defense industry, where I witnessed waste and fraud on programs funded by taxpayer dollars. When I reported it, I was fired. That experience taught me something this district already knows: the rules don't apply equally. The wealthy and well-connected operate by a different set of standards, and the people who speak up pay the price. In Congress, I will fight for transparency in government spending, stronger whistleblower protections, and real consequences for those who abuse public trust. Accountability is not a talking point for me. It cost me my career.
- I'm raising two sons on the Peninsula, one of whom has special needs. My wife and I have fought for every service and accommodation our family needs, and we know how broken the system can be for families like ours. My father came to this country as a Vietnam War refugee. I know what is at stake when the government turns against its own communities. In Congress, I will work to expand disability services, strengthen protections under IDEA, and defend immigrant families from federal overreach. I'm running to protect the people this system was built to overlook.
