I am a proud Washington State native. I grew in the Wallingford neighborhood in North Seattle, graduated from Ingraham High School, and later the University of Washington with a degree in Comparative Religion and Political Science. My wife, Tiffany, and I moved to Kenmore 18 years ago with our baby daughter. We saw the potential and beauty here, and we've never regretted our decision to make Kenmore our home. I started attending Kenmore City Council meetings after the new City Hall was built. I lived nearby, and wanted to see what my government was doing. I was shocked to learn that the Council wasn't livestreaming its meetings so more residents could know what was being decided about their city. I took it upon myself to begin attending regularly, and started livetweeting the meetings under the Twitter account "@kenmorepolitics". I got a small following of people who wanted to know what was going on but couldn't make it to City Hall on a Monday night. It became apparent to me that the Council was not representative of most Kenmore residents, and when Deputy Mayor Bob Hensel told me he was retiring and asked me to run for his seat, I took him up on the challenge. I have proudly served on the Kenmore City Council since 2014, and was selected by my Council colleagues to serve as Deputy Mayor from 2018-2021, and as Mayor since 2022. In my spare time I play disc golf, read, and spend time with family, friends, and our two cats - Brennan and Dale.
