a candidate for the upcoming city council appointment in Waco, I bring a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to community service. My background in healthcare leadership, particularly as the Chief Operating Officer at Ascension Providence, has provided me with the skills necessary to manage complex operations and foster collaboration among diverse stakeholders.

Having moved to Waco four and a half years ago, my connection to the community is deeply personal, rooted in my and my wife's experiences as Baylor graduates. Our active participation in local events and organizations reflects our dedication to Waco's growth and prosperity. I have served on the city’s Zoning Board of Adjustment and am involved with the Waco Rotary Club, among other community initiatives, which have enhanced my understanding of local issues.

My tenure on the Keller Independent School Board of Trustees, where I held leadership positions, has equipped me with a solid foundation in governance and community engagement. I have successfully overseen significant educational developments, including the construction of 21 new schools and the management of substantial budgets.

As I seek this appointment, I am committed to listening to constituents and making informed decisions that align with the community's needs. My goal is to leverage my experience to drive positive change in Waco, ensuring that our city continues to thrive.
