Do Good Things With Good People

Rally the troops. Gather 'round. Let's get together.

However you say it... good things happen when good people gather. 

Dignity, respect, and open minds always.

About Me

I grew up in Arizona and fell in love with the four seasons of Utah as a young college student. Together with my spouse, Mark, we moved around the country raising three children before settling permanently in Cottonwood Heights in 2005.

 

Our family’s motto, “Do good things with good people,” represents our commitment to serving the community while building strong relationships.

I’ve had a varied career, starting my first business in 2001, which is still active today. When not working, I can be found outside digging in the garden dirt, hiking in the canyons, skiing, or walking the neighborhood. Nature is a sanctuary.

 

That’s why I will work to protect and preserve access to all the beautiful places in and around our city.

Active Listening. Collaboration. Strategic Planning.

I'm an 21-year Cottonwood Heights resident, entrepreneur, business owner, international educator, and events planner.

Fiscally conservative, transparent, and accountable. You should expect every taxpayer dollar will be used wisely for quality municipal services at the best possible price.
