What we’re building together
A town that works for the people who call it home.
Steady leadership, responsible choices, and a shared commitment to the place we love.
Our priorities
A practical plan for Black Mountain
The work ahead is clear. These are the commitments I’ll bring to Town Council.

Spend every dollar wisely
Restore fiscal responsibility and accountability to Town Hall so every taxpayer dollar is managed with care, transparency, and common sense.

Protect the heart of our town
Strengthen and preserve our vibrant downtown—the local gathering place and the character that makes Black Mountain unique.

Invest in the next generation
Create opportunities for families and children to live, play, and thrive here for years to come.
Rooted here
Black Mountain is home.
This town shaped me. It’s where I’ve built a life, raised a family, and put down roots through the businesses and relationships that make a community strong.
I’m running because I believe in a future that honors what makes Black Mountain special while making room for the families, workers, and local businesses who will carry it forward.
