I love our city. For generations my family has lived, worked, and served in this community. I have lived here in Springville my entire life, but over the last few years it has become clear to me that there has never been a more critical time for the future of Springville than right now.

 

Our city will be "built-out" in the next 20 years. The planning for that growth is happening now. How we want our community to look and feel for the next 100 years is happening at this moment and we can't afford to get this wrong. We must thoughtfully, responsibly, and deliberately manage our growth so we do NOT comprise our quality of life.

 

I am running to ensure Springville continues to be a community that is family focused, faith-filled, and centered on conservative, fiscally responsible principles. I am grateful for the examples of those who have served our city on the council in the past - including both of my own grandfathers. To me, Springville is more than a city, it is a stewardship entrusted to our care. 

​

So why am I running? We are in a uniquely important time for the future of our town. We must go to work to preserve the community we love for the decades to come... and I am ready, willing, and able to go to work.
