I was born in Los Angeles, California, and lived there until I joined the U.S. Navy after the September 11th terrorist attacks.  While in the Navy, I deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the Battle of Fallujah on board the Aircraft Carrier USS JOHN F. KENNEDY, which was based out of NAS Mayport. After my military service, I was proud to make Jacksonville Beach my permanent home. I first became involved in politics when I attended a series of workshops in Jacksonville Beach regarding the city’s vision plan. I advocated for a plan allowing sustainable growth while protecting the residents and local businesses.  Since taking office on November 16th, 2020, we have worked on and approved a strategic plan that included our vision, mission statement, and core values (EPIC TEAM).

  As a small business owner, I know how valuable our small businesses are in creating jobs and sustaining our vibrant community all year. I realized the most important thing I can do is give back to the community that has given me so much. 

I’ve partnered with local charities such as K9 for Warriors, Beaches Rotaract Club, Rylan Strong Foundation, Daniels Kids, and BEAM. These local charities are vital because they help people and bring the community together for a good cause.

 

  I have been serving as your Council Member in Jacksonville Beach

since 2020 and recently nominated and voted on by my peers as the new

Chair on the City of Jacksonville Board of the Library Trustees

as the representative for the Beaches Branch Library.

 I feel fortunate and blessed to call Jacksonville Beach my home.

As your councilman, I have to work hard to serve you, and

I would be honored to have your vote once again.
