About Me
I’m a lifelong Iowan, born in Des Moines, raised in Urbandale and Windsor Heights, and graduated from Johnston High School. I attended DMACC, the University of Iowa, and Drake Law School. Upon graduating from Drake, I settled in Windsor Heights with my family, as we loved the neighborhood, trees, community, and my grandparents had lived here for decades.
In 2017, I was disappointed with how elected officials weren’t listening to my neighbors in the community. So, I decided to take action and ran for City Council, receiving the most votes out of a field of nine candidates. After serving on Council for four years, I wanted to see more leadership from the mayor, so I ran for the position. In 2021, I defeated the incumbent, receiving nearly 66% of the vote, and in 2025, I was reelected, becoming the most popularly elected Mayor in Windsor Heights history.
