MEET
I am an adaptable individual with a diverse background and a passion for community service. I have lived in Lakeway for nine years and have made it my home. I am proud to serve on the Zoning and Planning Commission (ZAPCO) and have been the chairman the past two years. I have also served on the Planned Unit Development (PUD) committee as the ZAPCO representative where I have helped shape the future of our city.
I am a family man, happily married with two kids that attend Lake Travis High School. In my free time I enjoy outings on Lake Travis, hiking our nature trails, and frequenting local establishments. I am an active volunteer and enjoy helping my kids with their volunteer activities. I am a prop parent/dance dad, have been an LTYA coach, room parent at school, assisted at Mobile Loaves & Fishes feeding the homeless, and was recognized (click here) for my service to others delivering food, water, and firewood during snowmegeddon 2021.
I have previously worked in an auto factory, as a retail manager, and firefighter. Currently, I work as a life insurance specialist, helping families secure their financial futures.
