A Message to Champlin
I have a passion for my hometown that cannot be beat. Growing up in Champlin, I have seen where Champlin has been and what it's become. We truly are a city second to none!
I will strive to keep our small town feel while continuing to improve on what we have. I will ensure the safety of our city through continuous communication with our Police Department, providing them with the resources they need.
I have the knowledge and history of major projects currently happening such as the Mississippi Crossings riverfront development. I will be a leader of honesty and integrity, who'll always be candid and available to residents.
Every May I deliver Champlin's annual State of the City address, and I have laid out my priorities for Champlin's next four years in detail.

Community Involvement
Champlin is more than the city I serve—it is my hometown and the community where my family and I have built our lives.
One of the most rewarding ways I have served our community is by volunteering as a youth coach through the Champlin Dayton Athletic Association (CDAA). Over the years, I have coached:
- Football
- Basketball
- Soccer
- Baseball
Coaching has given me the opportunity to help young athletes develop confidence, teamwork, discipline, and good sportsmanship. It has also allowed me to build meaningful relationships with local families and see firsthand how important strong youth programs, quality parks, and safe recreational facilities are to our community.
Whether serving as Mayor, volunteering in the community, or coaching from the sidelines, I remain committed to making Champlin an even better place for families and future generations.
