I'm proud to be running as a candidate for Bellingham City Council, Ward 4, and honored that the citizens are considering me for their representative on the council. Please feel free to look around this site, familiarize yourself with me, my stand on various issues, and contact my campaign if you so desire.

The Cascadia Weekly has called me "the outsider's candidate" and this is a characterization I am proud to embrace. Bellingham city government has been obscured from public view for far too long. We need an "outsider's candidate" on the City Council; one who will throw open the doors and windows to let all of Bellingham's citizens see how local government is working. I am that candidate.

As your voice on the City Council, I will ask the tough questions, and require the best efforts that our professional staff, aided by public input, can provide. Following this practice, we will create cost-effective, balanced solutions that will meet the full range of our community's goals, from maintaining public safety and economic prosperity, to managing change and protecting the environment.

As a software engineer, it is my responsibility to ensure that the software applications we build, behave as they are designed, overcoming tough obstacles, without any harmful side effects. As a member of the City Council, I will operate on those same principals, by making decisions that will address our challenges effectively, delivering the results we want, without unintended consequences.

If you would like to assist with my campaign, I'd be grateful and honored to have your help. Please sign up through the volunteer menu at the top of this page.

I look forward to talking with you!
