Fountain Valley has proudly been my home for 33 years. My wife and I raised our five children here, and I’m committed to making our city an even better place—one where they can someday raise families of their own.

With 40 years of private-sector business experience, along with experience in public service, I bring a practical, results-focused approach to local government. I believe City Hall should operate efficiently, responsibly, and with complete accountability to the residents it serves.

Delivering Results for Fountain Valley

Since you first elected me four years ago, I have worked to strengthen public safety, improve our parks, and protect the city’s financial future. Together, we have:

• Hired new fire and police chiefs
• Completed a new Public Safety Community Risk Assessment and Standards of Cover
• Developed Fountain Valley’s first-ever Parks Master Plan
• Advanced a new 16-acre expansion of Fountain Valley Sports Park
• Balanced the city’s budgets while paying down pension debt

Accessible and Accountable Leadership

Through my “Mile with the Mayor” walks, I bring residents and City staff together for open conversations in the community. These walks help keep local government accessible while encouraging everyone to stay active and enjoy Fountain Valley’s outdoors.

Continuing the Work

If re-elected, I will continue working to:

• Give our firefighters and police officers the resources they need to keep Fountain Valley safe
• Improve and maintain our parks and streets
• Ensure responsible, transparent use of every taxpayer dollar
• Attract and retain healthy businesses that provide good-paying jobs

It has been an honor to serve as your Fountain Valley mayor and councilmember. I respectfully ask for your vote so we can continue building a safe, thriving, and financially strong Fountain Valley for generations to come.
