Solving the Issues That Shape Our Future
Building a Stronger Wilmington
As a civil engineer, I’ve spent my career solving real-world problems. Wilmington needs infrastructure solutions that are practical, efficient, and built to last — and that starts with someone who knows how to get it done.
Protecting What Makes Wilmington Beautiful
Wilmington’s natural beauty is one of our greatest assets — and it’s worth protecting. I’ll prioritize smart planning that respects our environment and keeps our coast, waterways, and green spaces healthy for generations to come.
A Community Where Everyone Feels Safe
Safety doesn’t happen by accident — it takes smart planning and strong systems. I’ve worked my whole career to create safe, reliable solutions. That’s exactly what I’ll bring to city government.
Long-Term Thinking, Smart Decisions
Engineers are trained to think long-term. From roads to stormwater to zoning, I’ll make sure today’s decisions set Wilmington up for success tomorrow.
I’m running for City Council to bring thoughtful, compassionate leadership to Wilmington—grounded in integrity, collaboration, and a deep commitment to community service. I believe in being a good steward of our city’s resources to ensure a stronger, more sustainable future for everyone who calls Wilmington home.
