Candidate for Stamford Board of Representatives, District 18

I’m not a politician — I’m a lifelong Stamford resident, a small business owner, a husband, and a father of two beautiful girls. I’ve called this city home since I was three years old, attending Roxbury, Cloonan, and graduating from Westhill High School in 2001. Stamford helped shape who I am, and I care deeply about its future.

This is my first step into the political arena, but it's driven by something simple: the older I get, the more I care about the policies, decisions, and legislation that affect our families, neighborhoods, and daily lives. I want to see Stamford not just maintain what makes it great, but continue to grow in a way that reflects the values of the people who live here.

I’m running on principles — freedom, family, and growth. As someone grounded in real-world experience, I bring the perspective of a working parent, a local business owner, and someone committed to personal responsibility and long-term community health.

If elected, I promise to be a representative who listens, who learns, and who leads with integrity. I won’t be bought, I won’t be swayed by special interests, and I won’t lose sight of what matters most: doing what’s right for District 18 and for Stamford.

Let’s work together to make sure Stamford continues to be a place we’re proud to call home for generations to come.
