My Platform
I'm running for the mayor of St. Boni because I believe local government should put residents first. That means being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, holding public projects accountable, supporting local businesses and economic growth, and ensuring that the voices of St. Boni residents are heard in decisions that impact our community. Together, we can build a stronger future while protecting the values, character, and small-town feel that make St. Boni a place to call home.

About Me
I have proudly called St. Boni home since 2015, where I live with my wife and four children. As a dedicated husband, father, and community member, I am deeply invested in preserving the quality of life that makes St. Boni a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
My wife and I are currently experiencing an important family milestone as our oldest son heads off to college. We also have two daughters who attend Waconia High School, and our youngest daughter attends Waconia Middle School, keeping me actively engaged in the issues facing local families and schools.
I am committed to serving our community. I am a volunteer paid-on-call firefighter with the St. Bonifacius Fire Department since 2017. I currently serve as Truck Captain, and am also the Treasurer of the St. Bonifacius Fire Relief Association. Through these leadership roles, I have gained firsthand experience in public service, fiscal responsibility, budgeting, and accountability.
Professionally, I have built a career in finance and accounting, giving me a strong understanding of responsible budgeting, financial oversight, and stewardship of taxpayer dollars. I graduated from the University of St. Thomas with an accounting degree and have been working in accounting/finance for over 20 years. My experience in both the private sector and public service has prepared me to make thoughtful, practical decisions that prioritize the long-term success of St. Bonifacius.
I am running for mayor because I believe in fiscal responsibility, transparent government, attracting businesses and jobs, and ensuring St. Bonifacius remains a thriving community for families for generations to come.
