Council Corner: Ward Three

It’s an honor to introduce myself as the newest member of the Bradenton City Council.

For the entirety of my business career, I’ve worked in the financial services, real estate, and insurance fields, where listening, problem-solving, and earning trust matter most. I believe those same values belong at the heart of local government.

My wife, Laura, and I live in Wares Creek because we love Bradenton’s character—and we’re even more excited about its future. I am inspired by the thoughtful investments being made in infrastructure, public safety, neighborhoods, and community spaces.

As your councilman, my focus is on listening to residents, communicating clearly, and working hard to protect what makes our community unique while embracing opportunities for smart, balanced growth. I’m especially excited about efforts to continue to revitalize and energize our city as a whole, attract and retain local businesses, and strengthen our identity as a vibrant, livable coastal community.

I am grateful for the chance to serve and look forward to engaging with you, learning from you, and building a strong future for Bradenton—together.
