About Me

I am a dad and husband first. I'm a policy nerd and definitely very introverted despite how public-facing my work is. I like to ride my bicycle around Beaverton and aim to finish riding every street in the city over the next couple years

My grandparents were in elected office in Ohio, and I remember helping my grandma run for mayor of Columbus when I was a kid. She was a city councilor there and became the first woman to be a county commissioner there as well. My grandpa was a two-star general in the National Guard and served in school board leadership. They made such a difference in their community and were committed to their family. She passed away during my first term in office, and he passed before I even started grad school. I think they'd be proud of my work here.

I joined City Council in 2023 after being the executive director of the Beaverton Downtown Association and serving on Planning Commission and the Central Beaverton Neighborhood Association Committee.

Since being in office, I have led and served on the following boards and committees:

• Beaverton Arts Commissoin
• Beaverton Committee on Aging
• Beaverton Committee for Community Involvement
• Beaverton Library Advisory Board
• Joint Water Commission
• Jurisdictional Transfer Advisory Committee
• League of Oregon Cities Transportation Committee
• Regional Disaster Preparedness Organization
• Regional Water Providers Consortium

I live in the Vose neighborhood with my wife and daughter. You'll often see us out on walks, bike rides, or at local playgrounds. Say hi if you see us!
