I believe in Tallahassee. Over the last seven years as your City Commissioner I’ve seen how political infighting, back room deals and divisive leadership has led to stagnation in our city.

Our economy has stalled, our underserved neighborhoods are being left behind and housing is less affordable than ever before.

This moment calls for strong, stable leadership to unite our city under a common vision. We can’t control what happens in Washington DC or the state house, but together we can build a strong economy that works for working people, protect and improve our neighborhoods and defend and expand our beautiful parks and tree canopy.

From Bond to Betton, South City to Summerbrooke, if you believe we can be a better city than we are today— join us.

building the next great southern city

  • business and culture

    As the only small business owner on the City Commission I know the challenges companies face when trying to succeed in Tallahassee— and I know what it takes to not just have great ideas, but turn them into reality. As Mayor we will:

    ✅ Create business incubator zones in Railroad Square and South City.

    ✅ Center Arts, Culture and Local Live Music as part of our identity.

    ✅ Streamline permitting and create a Blue Ribbon Business Panel of business leaders to identify problem areas.

  • families and neighborhoods

    I was raised by a single mother of four kids on the Southside of our city. I started my family here and with my wife Sarah, we’re raising our two boys. A community is only as strong as its neighborhoods. Together, we will:

    ✅ New sidewalks, less potholes and neighborhood specific budgeting

    ✅ Add affordable housing by building 500 municipal units available to all income brackets including extremely low income rental housing

    ✅ Create childcare facilities at City Hall and at city parks.

  • nature and outdoor spaces

    Tallahassee is a beautiful place to raise a family. Our tree canopy, lakes and springs must be protected from destructive development.

    ✅ New canopy roads to Tallahassee’s gateways and pedestrian trails

    ✅ Ensure new neighborhoods respect our tree canopy and existing topography

    ✅ Expand our Parks and greenways and add water features and splashpads across our city.
