Ensuring the City’s working relationship with Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office for public services continues successfully is of utmost importance to me. Whether addressing current citizen concerns or anticipating future needs, an open dialogue between parties is needed to provide citizens with a safe city. Further, I would work with RTD’s newly enhanced Transit Police Department to properly address any safety concerns at the Dry Creek Rail Station.

The citizens’ foresight to incorporate in 2001 showed our community of neighborhoods had the vision to chart its own course. Let’s not forget the guiding spirit of the City’s formation and remember that the citizens of Centennial know what works best for our city.

Street safety, snowplows, traffic signals, and the day-to-day functions of a city are essential services that we all depend on. I want to ensure that Centennial remains a fiscally responsible city, while also staying updated on the latest sustainability practices that can be implemented to be the best long-term stewards of taxpayer dollars. 

We live in a community of neighborhoods that has been fostered and invested in by our residents and it is no accident Centennial continuously ranks among the top places to live in the state.

Whether it be enhancing the relationships with Cherry Creek and Littleton Public Schools to ensure our students are receiving the best public education possible or maintaining the vast amount of outdoor amenities Centennial has to offer, I have a keen interest in protecting and progressing the work of our citizens and past civic leaders for future generations.

As a four-year member of the Centennial Planning + Zoning Commission there’s an important lesson I have learned: If you don’t manage change, you’ll end up somewhere you don’t want to be.

Change is inevitable, and from what we have experienced as a society at-large over the past five years, change is only accelerating. As population grows, demographics change, technology progresses, and market forces continue to influence the city we call home, I want to ensure we maintain the highest quality standard of living for our citizens.

I want Centennial to be the leader among neighboring cities, setting the standard in real estate redevelopment, economic development, and reinvestment in our legacy neighborhoods.  

For most, a home is the largest asset you will own in your lifetime. For many young people, home ownership feels out of reach.

A variety of home types to address the housing needs of current and future generations is needed. Townhomes and condominiums can help not only younger generations build the wealth needed to advance into a larger home but can also provide an option to seniors that may not want to maintain a single-family home.

As a commissioner I played a role in the formation of the City Council-approved 2023 Community Housing Strategies Report and two new zoning designations created in 2024 to help the development community address this concern. I want to ensure the work continues to meet this critical and essential need, while also protecting the value of our homes.

Centennial is home to well-known companies such as Boom Supersonic, United Launch Alliance, Koala Kare Products, Arrow Electronics and AlloSource, among others. The countless small businesses located in Centennial are also critical to the city’s success and deserve to have a government that listens to their concerns. The retention and expansion of our current businesses while also attracting new investment or relocation opportunities is key to ensuring the economic vitality of the city.
