Fun Fact
As a father of two, whenever I have some free time, you can find me either gaming, or illustrating. I've been doing both for what feels like all of my life, and come birthdays or the holidays, I am that relative/friend that most parents come to for advice on what gifts Santa Clause should bring to their kids, or even a custom artwork of their favorite show.

My Top Issues
Enhancing transparency and accountability
I believe that as public servants, we should be fully transparent to our constituents. They are the ones that have elected us to represent them, therefore we should not have anything to hide from them.
Attracting and retaining businesses
Our town is growing and expanding, along with that should be the business' as well. I believe that we should have a proper Chamber of Commerce that not only attracts more business into the town, but also provides them the resources for continued longevity.
Promoting transparency in government decision-making
We are elected into office by our constituents, not by any corporation or large business entity. We are beholden to those voters, and we should not only be fully transparent with them, but also make our decisions to the betterment of them and the town we live in.
Who I'm Running Against
Jill Fisschman (Democrat Party)
Currently on the Board of Education for Bloomfield.
Monica Charris Tabares (Democrat Party)
Current sitting Council at Large for Bloomfield. So an incumbent council of the Democratic party.
