WEBER COUNTY DOESN’T NEED A MANAGER. IT NEEDS A LEADER.
“Politics is the art of excuses. Leadership is the discipline of results. I’m running because I told my kids to do the hard things—and I’m not a hypocrite.”
Your support isn’t a donation to a campaign; it’s an investment in a higher standard of local government. Every dollar is weaponized to bring accountability back to the Commission.
Why Now? Because The Standard Has Slipped.
Most people in office are playing a game of ‘don’t lose.’ I’m playing to win for Weber County. Winning means 100% transparency, zero-waste budgets, and the courage to say ‘No’ to the status quo. If you want comfort, vote for the other guy. If you want a standard of excellence that doesn’t blink, let’s get to work.
FISCAL SOVEREIGNTY
Tax money isn’t ‘government money.’ It’s the hours of your life traded for a paycheck. Treating it with anything less than extreme respect is a moral failure. I’ve saved taxpayers money in my career—I’ll do it again in the Commission.
NO BACKROOM DEALS
In politics, “the deal” is usually done before the meeting even starts. That ends now. My loyalty is not for sale to party insiders, special interests, or high-dollar donors. If a decision is being made about your taxes, your land, or your future, it will happen in the light of day.
ACTION, NOT TALKING POINTS
It has been said, “Tell the truth, or at least don’t lie.” I will never hide behind a press release. If a decision is hard, I’ll explain why I made it. If I’m wrong, I’ll own it. That is the standard.
My Loyalty Is To You.
“I’m not here to play politics. I won’t hide behind talking points or make deals behind closed doors. Every decision I make will be guided by one question: Does this serve the people? If it doesn’t, I won’t support it.”

Every dollar is used to bypass the gatekeepers and speak directly to the people of Weber County. Accountability isn’t free—it requires resources to fight the status quo.
Why I am Running:
The “Lead by Example” Promise
“My kids didn’t ask if I wanted to run. They asked if I was going to run. Leadership is the realization that your actions are always being watched. I filed for office because I refuse to be a man who talks about ‘hard things’ without doing them.”
Leadership isn’t a title you inherit; it’s a standard you live. Whether I’m on the field coaching the next generation or managing multi-million dollar county facilities, the rule is the same: You cannot lead others where you are unwilling to go yourself. Stepping out of your comfort zone isn’t a suggestion—it’s the only way to facilitate growth. I’m not running because I need a job; I’m running because I’ve seen the waste, I’ve seen the “comfortable” decisions, and I know Weber County can do better. In my professional career, I’ve already proven I can cut costs and sharpen services. Now, I’m applying that same relentless discipline to the Commission.
The Three Pillars of Accountability:
I am running to set the standard—for my children, for our community, and for you. We lead by example, or we don’t lead at all.
