I was born and raised here in Frederick. It’s my home. At 16, I spent 2 years at Frederick Community College, where they taught me how to research, how to love learning, and how to find the truth. I now proudly serve on the FCC Foundation Board. I joined the United States Marine Corps, deployed during the Iraq War and came home. My father taught me how to serve others. The Marine Corps taught me how to lead. I have spent my life working in small local businesses and have served on local boards and commissions for 20 years. Those that know me the most, know that my time, my focus, and my energy are set on making our City better each day. It is my deepest belief that we should work hard to help others. My work on the board of the local Salvation Army and Christmas Cash for Kids and others are a small part of my effort to build a better tomorrow. I am invested in the preservation of our City treasures and the places we cherish. Our work keeping the amazing legacy of Wag's Restaurant going for another 43 years is a personal investment in protecting the places we love the most. Please request a time to meet with me to discuss how we build that better tomorrow.
