About me

I’ve served as Elgin, Oregon’s City Administrator since April 1, 2024 and I will be on the ballot in November 2026. My public service career before Elgin spanned from student government in high school to Treasurer of the Oregon Republican Party during the 2022 election cycle. My wife Ruth and I are delighted to call the Jewel of the Blue Mountains our home!
