I am a second generation, lifelong, born and raised Cutler Bay resident. Cutler Ridge through and through. A product of Dade County Public Schools and the State University System of Florida.

I've served the residents of Cutler Bay for the past 12 years — the last 8 on the Town Council, and 4 on the Education Advisory Committee before that. My wife Amy and I have two beautiful young sons, one who goes to public school here in Town. My parents are finally retired, and still live in Town to this day.

I've got skin in the game across three generations in this Town. This is our home. Always has been. Always will be.

I want to be your Mayor because we still have a lot of work to do. We have accomplished so much together over the past 8 years — but there is more to do. Let's keep our small town, family-friendly atmosphere. Let's keep our Town free from overdevelopment and protect our green spaces. Let's keep moving Cutler Bay forward.
