Responsible Growth. Safety and Service. Locally Minded.

 

Everyone in El Segundo deserves to know their families are safe, their taxes are spent wisely, and that the character of their town will be preserved.

I am a combat veteran who has worked with the Department of Homeland Security, large corporate consultancies, and major media and technology companies in order to protect people and organizations from security risks and the risks of mismanagement.

——————————————————————————————————-

When I first ran for the City Council, I asked for your votes to pull El Segundo back from the financial brink, lay the foundation for our economic future, and fully resource the responders that keep us safe.  I repurposed the maxim that “If we want to keep things the way they are, a few things are going to have to change.” I asked you to trust my judgement. 

Today we live in an El Segundo on that is the envy of California.  We are on rock-solid financial footing, saved the city nearly $100 million dollars, reinvented Smoky Hollow, and staved off the worst of the pandemic while learning the best lessons of social justice movements.  Families and companies are flocking to join our incredible community: never before have we been more prosperous, safer, and more connected.

We have challenges ahead and the next four years are critical as we cement our economic gains and sensibly make room for our growing families.  Keeping the El Segundo that we love means having the courage to shape the future.  You honored me with your trust before, and I hope to earn your trust again.  I look forward to seeing you all again, talking about our decisions and future, and celebrating the best parts of our democracy. 

 

About

I've met many of you through coaching Little League or soccer, the Eagles Nest Preschool PTO, Richmond Street PTA, or countless events that bring this community together.  I’ve heard a common theme in our conversations: we have a great city that is facing major challenges.  

  • How do we keep our doors open to growth and protect the heritage that makes our town unique?  

  • How do we keep our neighborhoods safe and honor our commitments to our protectors?  

  • How do we provide the services that our seniors and students deserve?

I am confident by listening, asking questions, and shared hard work, these problems are solvable and the battles are winnable.  We can continue to be the incredible hub for California’s economy, we can work with our responders to build a secure community, and we can fund the services our seniors deserve.
