Technology professional; community advocate, Frisco resident, technology manager, community engagement, infrastructure and growth planning
Why are you running for office?
I’m running for Frisco City Council to ensure our city’s growth is balanced and sustainable. As a resident and technology professional, I’ll bring data driven, transparent and accountable leadership that protects our quality of life, strengthens infrastructure and ensures every resident’s voice is heard in shaping Frisco’s future.
What are the biggest challenges facing the city?
Frisco’s rapid growth brings challenges like traffic congestion, strained infrastructure and preserving neighborhood character. We must align development with long-term capacity for roads, schools and public safety. Stronger communication and transparency are vital so residents stay informed, engaged and confident in decisions shaping our city’s future.
How do you plan to address these issues?
I’ll lead with a data driven, infrastructure first approach planning roads, traffic systems and city services alongside growth. By using technology to guide smart investments, promoting transparency and engaging residents early, I’ll ensure responsible spending so growth pays for itself without adding burdens to homeowners.
What would your top priorities be if you are elected?
Focus on aligning growth with infrastructure, easing traffic through smart planning and ensuring sustainable development. Strengthen transparency with open communication and resident involvement. Prioritize public safety investments and manage taxpayer dollars responsibly so Frisco grows efficiently, safely and sustainably.
Semi-retired; Board & Corporate advisor; CEO/CTO, Corcam Solutions LLC; startup COO, 10-year Frisco resident
Why are you running for office?
Frisco deserves transparent, fiscally responsible leadership. After 10 years here, I have seen our city grow rapidly and I believe my 30 years of global executive experience managing billion-dollar budgets gives me the tools to protect taxpayers, hold the line on debt and restore trust in city government.
What are the biggest challenges facing the city?
Frisco is nearly 90% built out, yet carries $1.1 billion in debt. Our biggest challenges are controlling spending without new tax increases, ensuring transparent vendor and developer relationships and planning smartly for limited remaining land. We must also attract high-paying corporate employers to keep Frisco economically competitive long-term.
How do you plan to address these issues?
I will pursue federal and state grants before new spending, require full public disclosure of developer and vendor relationships before council votes, post all contracts online in plain language and apply private-sector discipline to city budgets. Frisco needs an executive who has managed complexity at scale, not a career politician.
What would your top priorities be if you are elected?
Four priorities: transparent leadership, responsible spending, workforce development and community safety. I will require developer disclosure before every vote, pursue grants over new debt, attract high-paying corporate employers and fully fund police and fire. These reflect Frisco's values and protect our quality of life for years to come.
Vice President of Financial Products at Jackson Hewitt Tax Services, 4 years on Council
Why are you running for office?
When outlining the 2040 Strategic Vision in 2020, I realized I could support the goals of the city. I am running for re-election to continue delivering results for our residents through experienced, stable governance. My love for Frisco drives me to ensure our city remains safe, innovative and fiscally responsible.
What are the biggest challenges facing the city?
The greatest challenge is preserving effective governance with two topics coming to mind: One, coordinated disruptions designed to stall city business and distract from strategic goals and two, the erosion of local control due to state-level mandates limiting Frisco’s ability to determine its own zoning and fiscal destiny.
How do you plan to address these issues?
We address these by maintaining absolute focus on facts rather than manufactured outrage, ensuring Frisco’s needs remain the priority. As Legislative Chair, I continue partnering with state representatives to advocate for Frisco’s right to self-govern, ensuring our city is run by those who live here.
What would your top priorities be if you are elected?
Reinvestment in aging infrastructure, smart growth, and the repeal of SB840 to protect Frisco’s zoning authority. I am dedicated to fueling innovation within the city and attracting top companies, delivering a modern and humane animal facility and utilizing my experience to ensure our city’s future is optimized for everyone.
