Ready to Fix What’s Broken.

I’ve lived in Warrenville since 1986, and this city has been home for nearly my entire life.

I currently serve as an Alderman in Warrenville, a role I’ve held since 2023, and one I take seriously because the people here shaped who I am.

Before public service, I served in the United States Navy aboard the nuclear submarine USS Parche (SSN-683). The discipline, teamwork, and responsibility I learned under the ocean still guide me today.

After completing my service, I used my GI Bill to attend Northern Illinois University, graduating in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science.

Warrenville is where I grew up, where I work, and where I’m proud to serve.

I believed that government works best when the people who live here are involved. The solutions we need don’t come from political insiders or backroom deals. They come from conversations at kitchen tables, neighborhood meetings, local businesses, and the everyday experiences of the people who call this district home.  

My philosophy is simple. Listen first, understand the problem, find a practical solution.  

That’s how I serve Warrenville, and that’s how I’ll serve in Springfield.  My door will always open, whether that’s in person, by phone, or online. If something isn’t working, I want to hear it. If you have an idea, I want to talk about it. If you’re frustrated with the way things are going, you’re not alone I have talked to so many people in the district who share those frustrations. 

We will fix things by working together, not by shouting at each other.

 I’ve spent my life serving, in the Navy and now as an Alderman. That experience taught me something important: you don’t solve big problems by yourself. You solve them by listening to the people around you and building something better as a team.  

This campaign is about more than politics as usual. It’s about making Springfield work for the people again, and we’ll do it together.
