And I offer that leadership. I bring 25 years of experience as a real estate and environmental lawyer, working with cities and counties on housing, infrastructure, finance, and protecting our natural resources. I’ve partnered with developers—and pushed back when needed—to make sure projects serve the community, not just private interests.
I also have experience with land use planning, including four years of service on the Falcon Heights Planning Commission, and work with planning organizations across Minnesota. My background includes environmental law, focusing on rules to protect stormwater and surface water resources, and municipal finances, ensuring a strong and sustainable tax base.
Beyond profession experience related to the redevelopment, I volunteer as a pro bono attorney, serve as a leader in Scouting America, advocate for voter rights, and support single fathers in maintaining strong connections with their children.
I have lived in Falcon Heights for eight years with my 17-year-old son and our 12-year-old dog, cheer for the Minnesota Vikings, love the winter, and I am a devoted fan of the Minnesota State Fair.- With good development, the City can do good. The ability of the City to invest in its residents depends on smart stewardship of the City's tax base. The upcoming redevelopment provides us with the opportunity, if done right, to ensure the City's future is sustainable. This allows us to invest in positive, progressive ways for the betterment of our community.
- A strong city is built on connections. Falcon Heights should be walkable, bikeable, and transit-oriented to support our neighborhoods and local businesses. Parks, open spaces, and trails provide shared areas where neighbors can meet and create lasting experiences. The City must continue to foster connections between our neighbors, and to support those institutions and opportunities that provide support for each of us.
- We all do better, when we all do better. Our diversity is at the core of what makes Falcon Heights great. Our neighborhoods—whether University Grove, Falcon Farms, or Hollywood Court—each contribute to the unique character of our city, and all deserve to be valued equally as part of the whole community. We must be inclusive of all our residents, and welcome our new friends with open arms.
I am passionate about civic engagement, particularly encouraging participation in the electoral process and advocating for a voice in public policy, and protecting voter's rights.
I am passionate about development citizenship and leadership in children, and value programs such as Scouting, team sports, and youth in government.
