I've had the privilege of calling Waterloo home my entire life. Throughout the years, I've witnessed our community grow, evolve, and thrive. As I run for alderman, I'm driven by a deep commitment to ensuring that Waterloo remains the best place to raise a family - not just today, but for future generations.
I'm running for alderman because I believe in the power of community and the importance of local representation. I want to ensure that our city government is responsive to the needs of our residents and that our city continues to thrive and grow.
I graduated from Waterloo High School in 2003 and went on to study computer science at SIU Edwardsville. I've been a software engineer over 17 years, and I'm passionate about the future of our city. I'm a proud husband and father of three wonderful children, and have lived in Ward 4 for 15 years.
