After high school, I proudly served our country and learned the importance of leadership, responsibility, and service to others. Working alongside federal, state, and local agencies taught me how people with different backgrounds and responsibilities can come together to solve problems. Those lessons continue to guide my approach to public service today.

Palmdale is more than where I live. It’s home. I moved here looking for a better quality of life and a place to raise my son, Rocky. Being a father has shaped how I see our community and the decisions I make as a City Councilmember. I want Rocky and every child growing up in Palmdale to have safe neighborhoods, good schools, and opportunities to build a successful future right here at home.

Before I ever ran for office, I founded the Community Coalition of the Antelope Valley to tackle illegal dumping, graffiti, and neglected neighborhoods. We completed 33 community cleanups in our first year. After being elected to the City Council, I turned that experience into action by spearheading Palmdale’s Community Preservation Prog

Elected to the Palmdale City Council in 2022, I’ve worked to make our neighborhoods cleaner, improve public safety, support local businesses, and bring more opportunities to our community. As a father raising my son in Palmdale, I’m committed to building a city where families can thrive for generations to come.

Create Mortgage-Paying Jobs
Too many Palmdale residents spend hours commuting to jobs outside our community. I believe people should be able to earn a good living without sacrificing time with their families. I’m focused on attracting good-paying jobs, supporting local businesses, and expanding opportunities so more residents can work closer to home.
Reduce Crime
Every Palmdale family deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood. Since taking office, I’ve worked to strengthen public safety by supporting our sheriff’s deputies, increasing resources for law enforcement, and expanding the role of Community Service Officers so deputies can focus on more serious crimes. I’ll continue working to ensure our first responders have the resources they need to protect our neighborhoods and respond when residents need help.
Lowering the Cost of Living
Palmdale families are feeling the pressure of rising costs, and government shouldn’t make it harder to get ahead. I’ve worked to prevent additional local sales tax increases and opposed new tax burdens on our residents. I’ll continue standing against new taxes, supporting small businesses, and working with state leaders to bring more resources and economic opportunities to Palmdale.
Investing in Our Youth
Every child in Palmdale deserves opportunities to discover their talents and pursue their dreams. I’ve worked to expand youth sports opportunities, including helping bring AV ALTA’s youth development program to Palmdale. That partnership has already helped open doors for young athletes, with two players receiving professional contract offers and nine receiving college scholarship offers. I’ll continue supporting programs that give our kids opportunities to succeed.
