A Neighbor First

My family and I chose Corpus Christi because we believed it was a place where we could build a great life. Seven years later, we couldn’t imagine calling anywhere else home.

My wife serves our community as a local veterinarian, and together we’re raising four daughters here. Between school activities, church, youth sports, and volunteering, we’ve become deeply invested in the future of this city. I’m also a Sunday school teacher at St. John’s and regularly volunteer at my children’s schools because I believe strong communities are built by people who show up.

I’m not a career politician.

I’m an engineer, a business leader, and a dad who believes local government should focus on solving problems—not creating them.

A Career Built on Solving Difficult Problems

I earned a degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering from one of the nation’s top engineering programs and later completed a Tier One MBA. Throughout my career, I’ve managed complex, multi-million-dollar projects across three continents.

My work has taught me that successful organizations don’t run on politics—they run on data, accountability, and thoughtful planning.

When something isn’t working, you identify the root cause, bring the right people together, and fix it.

That’s the mindset I want to bring to City Hall.

Why I’m Running

Corpus Christi has incredible potential.

We have hardworking people, a world-class port, beautiful natural resources, and opportunities that many cities would envy. Yet too often, we find ourselves arguing over the same issues year after year while costs continue to rise and residents lose confidence that government can deliver.

I believe we can do better.

I’m running because I want a city government that plans ahead instead of reacting to crises, spends taxpayer dollars wisely, invests in reliable infrastructure, protects our water future, and encourages smart economic growth that benefits everyone.

Government should be transparent.

It should be accountable.

And it should always remember that every tax dollar belongs to the people who earned it.

What I Believe

I believe good leadership starts with listening.

I believe difficult decisions should be guided by facts, not politics.

I believe infrastructure isn’t glamorous, but it’s the foundation of a thriving city.

I believe we can grow our economy while protecting the quality of life that makes Corpus Christi special.

Most importantly, I believe local government exists to serve its citizens—not the other way around.

Looking Forward

Our children deserve a city that is prepared for the future.

That means making smart investments today, maintaining the infrastructure we already have, ensuring a secure water supply, supporting public safety, and creating an environment where businesses and families can succeed.

I don’t claim to have every answer.

But I do know how to bring people together, analyze complex problems, and build practical solutions that work.

That’s how I’ve approached every challenge in my career.

It’s how I’ve served my community.

And it’s how I’ll serve Corpus Christi as your City Council representative.
