Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Having spent most of my career in the hospitality and service industries, I truly enjoy serving and getting to know members of our community. I am compelled to get involved on a meaningful level to give back to the Town of Arcadia Lakes, the beautiful place my wife, Elizabeth, and I are pleased to call Home.
• I will work to preserve and protect the integrity and beauty of Arcadia Lakes. Our current Town Council has worked hard for its residents, and my desire is to see that work continue, especially the repair and reopening of roads closed due to dam breakage.
• Arcadia Lakes is a unique town within the Columbia metropolitan area. I'm interested in seeing its historical integrity upheld and will work diligently with the mayor and other council members in the best interests of our town and its residents.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm interested in the maintaining the autonomy of our town and providing transactional transparency.
