Background
Grounded in Community, Stewardship, and Service
Rooted in Manassas
I grew up in Manassas and attended elementary through high school in Prince William County. The classrooms, teachers, neighborhoods, and people here shaped my understanding of community, responsibility, and service. Manassas helped form my values, and it remains the place I am proud to call home.
Today, my partner Joe and I live in one of the city’s historic homes with our dog, Harrison. Living in a home with so much history serves as a daily reminder that preserving the character of Manassas and preparing responsibly for its future must go hand in hand.
A Vision for Thoughtful Growth
Over the years, I’ve watched our city evolve. I’ve seen thoughtful growth, missed opportunities, and difficult public debates. Growth can create opportunity, but it also requires discipline, coordination, transparency, and long-term planning.
My decision to run for City Council is not about one issue or one moment. It comes from a broader belief that residents deserve a local government that communicates clearly, plans responsibly, and treats public trust as a priority.
I believe residents deserve a strong voice in the decisions shaping the future of our city — and leadership that explains not only what decisions are being made, but why they matter.
Leadership Focused on Stewardship
Professionally, I work as a business consultant, advising organizations on strategic planning, operational decision-making, and sustainable long-term outcomes. That experience has shaped my approach to leadership: listening first, focusing on facts, and prioritizing practical solutions over politics and emotion.
I’m not running to reinvent Manassas. I’m running to help ensure that as our city grows, we do so thoughtfully and deliberately. Whether it’s protecting the character of our neighborhoods, supporting small businesses, improving infrastructure, or strengthening our civic core, we need leadership focused on stewardship, transparency, and long-term community benefit.
I’m ready to bring a steady, professional, and community-focused voice to City Council and help ensure Manassas remains a vibrant place to live, work, and raise a family for generations to come.
