Service. Experience. Commitment.

Thoughtful Leadership for Summit County’s Future

Local governance matters, and when done right, can positively shape a community. I believe my combination of public service and professional experience will help guide the wide range of decisions faced by Council.

I am a Utah native and have lived in the Silver Springs neighborhood for more than 10 years with my wife and our two school-aged children. As a long time resident, I am committed to addressing the key issues in the Snyderville Basin and Summit County.
