As one of your current Fire Commissioners, I bring decades of experience in fire service leadership and a deep commitment to serving our community with integrity, accountability, and transparency. My professional background includes over 37 years in the fire service, where I rose through the ranks from firefighter to Deputy Chief, gaining firsthand knowledge of operations, training, budgeting, and emergency management. This experience has equipped me to make informed decisions that balance public safety, fiscal responsibility, and long-term planning.

Throughout my first term, I have prioritized open and transparent governance, ensuring that the voices of residents and department personnel are heard and respected. I believe in thoughtful, collaborative decision-making and have worked diligently to maintain public trust through clear communication and responsive representation. In this next term I remain committed to advocating for a fire service that is modern, well-resourced, and accountable to those it serves.
