Born in Kingston and raised in Ulster County, I’m a proud co-owner of Planet Woodstock Music and Rondout Roasting Company.
As Alderman for Ward 8, I’d serve on Kingston’s Common Council—the legislative body that makes key decisions about our city. That means reviewing and voting on budgets, development proposals, safety measures, and local laws that directly impact our daily lives. It’s about listening to neighbors, asking the right questions, and making thoughtful choices that move Kingston forward.
With years of business experience and as a board member of the nonprofit Keegan Army, I’m deeply committed to our community.
I’ve lived across Kingston—Washington Ave., Clinton Ave., Florence St., Wilber Ave., Harwich St.—and now own a home with my partner on 3rd Ave. in Ward 8. I’ve seen the impact of the housing crisis firsthand, and that gives me a real understanding of what sustainable progress looks like.
As a local entrepreneur and active Kingston resident, I’m running to bring forward-thinking leadership and avoid the costly mistakes we keep repeating. I’ll prioritize safer, more walkable streets, thoughtful development, and a city that respects its history while meeting today’s needs.
I’m passionate about Kingston—I live here, I work here, I participate here.
