Born just across the river in Ontario, Oregon, and raised in Payette, I’m a Payette High School graduate from the class of ’93. I served eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps as an Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Specialist ending with the rank of Sergeant—leading teams at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, and Camp Pendleton, California (1994–2002). I then spent two years as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserves’ 411th Combat Engineer Battalion, including a deployment to Baghdad with the First Cavalry to secure neighborhoods and establish local voting stations.
Since returning home, I’ve been honored to serve as board member and President of the Greater Payette Area Chamber of Commerce (2017–2019), as a member of the Historical Preservation Commission (2023–2024), and today as a Planning & Zoning Commissioner.
I’m running for City Council to bring disciplined leadership, proven community service, and a shared vision for Payette’s future. Let’s rebuild our hometown together!
