My Priorities
Public Safety
Strengthening public safety
I will always stand behind our law enforcement officers, firefighters, and first responders because public safety is the foundation of every strong community. They deserve leadership that provides the staffing, training, and resources needed to do their jobs safely and effectively. While APD has made important progress filling critical positions, there is still work to do to improve response times across the city. But public safety is about more than staffing numbers—it also requires visible policing and mutual respect between first responders and the communities they serve. Which is why I support policies that promote accountability, community engagement, and proactive problem-solving so public safety is not only reactive, but preventive as well.
As an Assembly member, I will continue to advocate for smart investments in public safety that protect families, restore confidence in public spaces, and ensure Anchorage remains a place where people feel secure raising their families and running their businesses.
Homelessness
Tackling the homelessness crisis
Homelessness is a complex issue that requires a balanced and holistic approach. By continuing to improve public safety, Anchorage can restore community confidence, boost tourism, and strengthen local businesses by ensuring our town is vibrant again. Ultimately, the goal should be fewer people living in encampments and more people connected to housing, behavioral health care, and employment services. There is no easy solution, and we cannot lose sight of compassion. Simply arresting people or pushing them from one area to another is not a long-term answer. We need to keep parks, schools, and public spaces safe while helping people move off the streets and toward stability. That means stronger coordination between city services and nonprofits, expanded shelter and treatment options, and practical pathways to work and housing. This won’t be a quick fix, but with steady effort and the right focus, we can make real progress.
Lowering Costs
Reducing the cost of living to stop outmigration
Property taxes are rising faster than many families’ incomes, and too many homeowners are being priced out of the communities they worked hard to live in. I will push for meaningful property tax relief by limiting sudden spikes and improving fairness in the assessment process. At the same time, I will support responsible housing development to keep Eagle River and Chugiak affordable and competitive with nearby communities. I will work with local builders to reduce construction costs and delays so we can expand housing supply and give families more affordable options. Investing in infrastructure that supports new neighborhoods and encouraging a mix of housing types—from starter homes to rentals—will help stabilize prices and keep people from being deterred from staying here.
I grew up in Eagle River and chose to build my life here because I love this community and wanted to raise my kids here. I want this to be a place where families can put down roots, build a future, and stay close to the people and places they love.

I have a unique history with Anchorage. My grandparents came to Anchorage in the 1940's and in May 1949 my grandfather was one of the veterans selected to homestead 160 acres near what is now Debarr Road and Boniface Parkway. My grandfather, and now my father have ran a small land developing business and have developed some of the areas in Peters Creek and the Mat-Su valley over the last 50 years.
I was born in Anchorage and moved to Eagle River in 1st grade. I attended Fire Lake Elementary, Mirror Lake Middle School, and graduated from Chugiak High School in 2009. I got my bachelors degree in civil engineering from Arizona State University and quickly moved back to Anchorage to get my masters degree from UAA. I bought my first, and current home in Eagle River in 2017.
My day job is as a civil engineer for the State of Alaska, Department of Transportation and Public Facilities where I design and maintain stormwater infrastructure for the states' highways, airports, and ferry terminals.
I have Alaska, Anchorage, and especially Eagle River in my blood, and I am committed to getting things back on track.- I want Anchorage residents to get the maximum amount of services for their tax dollars. In order to do that, we need to fill the long-term vacant positions, and figure out which ones are no longer needed.
- I want us to generate more of the city's income from the seasonal tourists that come to our city every summer. This could be in the form of a seasonal sales tax, general sales tax, or other taxes.
- We have to figure out a better way to clean up downtown and other areas. What we are currently doing is not working. This could be by empowering local-non profits with incentives, or building city run facilities, I am open to ideas from others, but we have to find a solution.
