I am running for a seat on the Hamilton County Council to serve as a voice for those who feel their government can do more to meet their needs. Hamilton County has long been considered one of the best counties in the country and the way to maintain that status is to ensure that the people who live and work here have affordable housing options, quality childcare, and access to healthcare. If elected, I will work tirelessly to make sure the hardworking people of Hamilton County are always supported by their local government.
A native of Indianapolis, I have resided with my wife in Carmel since 2021 and welcomed our first child, a boy, in 2025.
Since 2015, I have been employed as a healthcare worker – first as a mental health specialist at an inpatient psychiatric hospital while I worked my way through nursing school and since 2018, I have worked as an emergency room nurse where I developed the critical thinking skills, good judgment, and common sense I believe will make me an excellent councilman.
In our spare time, my wife and I enjoy traveling, entertaining friends and family, and playing with our little boy. I am an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hiking and backpacking. I also enjoy reading and studying U.S. history. I publish a Substack on the subject called Notes on the United States of America.
