“Together for a Transparent, Thriving Charlotte”

I'm a Charlottean.

While I wasn't born here, I've spent a majority of my life in Charlotte, and I've chosen to raise my young family here.

Whether it's when my family moved here in 1983, or when I came back here as an adult in 2004, I've been in awe of the growth that Charlotte has experienced over that period, growing from a small banking town to one of the largest US cities.

But growth is a double-edged sword; it brings prosperity, but it can also bring inequality, especially for long time residents.

Over the past 20 years the issues haven't changed- improving affordability, creating economic opportunity, building infrastructure, and ensuring public safety.

Unfortunately, the proposed solutions for those issues haven't changed either.

While progress has been made, there are many residents who have not felt Charlotte's growth and prosperity in their own lives, and the lack of transparency and controversy around those decisions has been frustrating for all Charlotteans.

Charlotte needs a new vision and new energy to bridge that growing gap.

That's why I'm running for Mayor of Charlotte.

My background- as a former Marine, a small business owner, a community organizer, and a stay-at-home father- has provided me the personal experience and insight to understand what Charlotteans are looking for in their leaders.

As a Democrat committed to fairness and progress, I’ll bring transparent leadership, equitable growth, and innovative solutions to Charlotte’s challenges—ensuring every neighborhood thrives.

I look forward to hearing face-to-face the challenges we face as a community and having the opportunity to present my vision and solutions.
