Questions & Answers
Straight answers, no spin.
The questions neighbors ask most about the priorities and how they'll shape Eagle Mountain's future.
Why are you running?
I'm running because I care deeply about Eagle Mountain's future. My family has called this community home since 2005, and I want to help make sure we grow in a way that protects what people love about living here while preparing responsibly for what comes next.
What is your leadership philosophy?
I believe teams win. The best results come when residents, city staff, elected officials, businesses, and community volunteers work together. What we build, we build together, for the people already here, and the ones still coming home.
Why is open space important to you?
Open space is part of Eagle Mountain's identity. Our trails, parks, wildlife corridors, views, and natural areas are a big part of what makes this city special. I believe we can grow responsibly while still protecting the open spaces and quality of life residents value.
What have you done to support open space?
I have supported funding for important parks and open space efforts, including the Nolan Park rebuild and the Walden Park Observatory. I also supported adding open space staff to the Parks Department and worked with the Community Services Board to help bring forward important park initiatives throughout the city.
What does public safety mean to you?
Public safety is one of the most important responsibilities of local government. That includes law enforcement, fire and EMS partnerships, emergency preparedness, wildfire planning, traffic safety, and making sure our city is prepared as we continue to grow.
What have you supported for public safety?
I supported adding one sergeant and six patrol officers to help strengthen public safety services in Eagle Mountain.
Why is transportation such a priority?
Transportation affects everyday life for Eagle Mountain residents. As our city grows, we need better road connections, safer routes, more regional access, and improved options for pedestrians, cyclists, and families moving through the city.
What have you done to improve Roads & Connectivity?
I supported the transition of the Lake Mountain Corridor to the State of Utah, which helps position that corridor for better long-term funding opportunities.
What does financial stability mean to you?
Financial stability means using taxpayer dollars responsibly, planning ahead, and making decisions that protect residents from unnecessary financial burdens. My background in financial planning shapes how I approach city budgets, infrastructure needs, and long-term obligations.
What have you done to support financial stability?
I brought a framework to City Council to help increase funding for capital projects throughout the city. I also started a review process for city assets, helped educate the council on bond issuances, and supported the withdrawal from UFSA.
Are you against growth?
No. Growth is happening, and the city needs to manage it responsibly. I believe growth should contribute to the infrastructure, services, and quality of life needs it creates. The goal is not to stop growth, but to make sure it is thoughtful, balanced, and financially responsible.
What makes you qualified to serve?
I bring long-term residency, family roots, professional financial experience, community service, and City Council experience. I understand the importance of budgets, planning, infrastructure, public safety, and preserving the character of Eagle Mountain.
