Biography

I’m deeply committed to Flagstaff and have spent more than 20 years creating good public policy, protecting open space, enacting smart growth strategies, supporting local businesses, and strengthening support for the arts and education throughout northern Arizona.

My guiding principles have always been—and will continue to be—focused on inclusivity, thoughtful decision making, generosity of spirit, hard work, and honest conversations. I won’t duck the difficult decisions and I will always do what I think is best after careful consideration and investigation.
