Our Voice
Our community is a wonderful place to live. That is why I'm excited to run for Metro Council. I am a Nashville native, a product of public schools, a soon to be new dad and a neighborhood leader. I want to listen to you and be a strong voice for our neighborhood and our city.
I have a strong background working with citizens on legislation that matters. When elected, I will go to work for you on our most pressing issues.
