Nice to meet you!

            A Colorado Native, A Blue-Collar Worker, A Survivor.

I am a Colorado native, born and raised, a single father of three, and an electrician by trade. I know what it takes to put on my boots and get to work. I learned this watching my mother—a single parent—work two jobs and attend school to build a better life for us. That upbringing taught me that we are stronger together than we are divided.

I believe in being completely forthcoming about my journey. I am a person in active recovery. My personal experiences with homelessness, the legal system, and addiction have given me an education you cannot get in a classroom. I have seen the gaps in our system firsthand, and I know where we need improvement.

I believe in offering people a hand up, not a hand out. Today, I use my voice to help under-served populations and those who might not otherwise have a say. I am not afraid to ask hard questions or hold leadership accountable because I operate on a simple principle: If everyone in the room is agreeing, then no one is thinking.

I am fighting for real affordable housing, accessible human services, and the preservation of our parks and recreation. I am always learning, always listening, and dedicated to leaving this community better than I found it.
