Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me!

I am running for reelection to my third term on the Signal Hill City Council. My wife and I have lived in Signal Hill for 22 years and are proud to be raising our children in the Signal Hill community. Signal Hill has so much to be proud of. Our city is wonderfully diverse and residents, whether living in HOA communities or traditional neighborhoods, appreciate the sense of community. The sweeping views from the hilltop and the tree lined parks attract people from everywhere for a brisk walk, community gatherings, or to enjoy the sunset.

We have accomplished so much since I have been on Council. Our city staff does an incredible job running our city. Their ability to deliver services and be responsive to resident’s requests is unmatched. Important basics such as infrastructure maintenance & improvements and community services are performed day in and day out. Planning and executing large capital projects, like the library and the Signal Hill Park Amphitheater are a testament to just some of the great enhancements for residents.

This is an exciting time for the city. We have recovered well from the financial impacts of COVID-19, and continue to operate within our budget while also putting away funds for future downturns. Our centennial year celebrations have brought together residents and facilitated more participation in Signal Hill events. While the centennial year will come to an end I will continue to support programs that bring our residents together. Overall, my focus for the next term is to gather resident feedback – both positive and negative – and use it to help the City of Signal Hill improve.

My priorities for my next term include:

Public Safety – Ensure residents and businesses have a safe and healthful community
Community Services – Continue and enhance youth and senior programs
Responsible Budgeting – Operate within our budget to achieve measured and sustainable growth
Housing & Business Development – Facilitate development to provide appropriate housing and excellent retail

I ask for your vote on November 5, 2024.
