Technically, 1 year and 4 months!

Yes. I moved here with my wife in April of 2025. Given my experience and education, I felt the need to get involved immediately when Operation Metro Surge affected my community. Many of my constituents have lived here longer than I have, but I bring a listening ear and fresh perspective to our City Council. My wife and I chose to invest in this community, so I didn’t wait to get involved.

I am generally supportive of the endeavor to add a light rail stop in Robbinsdale. I’ve heard your concerns about logistics, location, and the associated cost, and I am open to alternative ideas regarding the specifics of the project. However, this project was voted on before my time on the Council; it’s been 20+ years in the making, and it’s likely to be built, as the 90% plans are already in place. As it stands, the City Council has no ability to vote on this topic. In short, the light rail question is beyond my control, much as I’d like the opportunity to provide input on it.

All campaign materials thus far (including my website, Facebook pages, flyers, t-shirts, and buttons) were designed by my wife, Lilly, and me. I have not and will not use A.I. for any posts or materials. Lawn signs are a work in progress, and I will shout out our local graphic designer once we have them complete!

No, I am not a member of the DSA. I am, however, supported by the Minnesota DFL, and I’m proud to have their support.
