I have proudly called Annehurst home for nearly 15 years. As a firefighter/paramedic, serving others is in my nature, and I want to bring that same spirit of service to our neighborhood board. My wife and I are raising two daughters who both swim for the Annehurst Piranhas.
What I love most about Annehurst is the pool, the sense of community, and the vintage charm that makes our neighborhood so unique. I’m passionate about keeping Annehurst connected, engaging, thriving, and welcoming for families new and old. I’d be honored to help support and strengthen the community we all love.

I recently moved to the neighborhood with my wife, Jessica, and our dog, Pippin, as of June 1, 2025. Unknowingly, when we bought our home, we stepped into a community already meaningful to us—many of our close friends grew up in AV, and their families are still part of it today.
Professionally, I work in sales within the healthcare staffing industry. Over the past 13 years, I’ve specialized in talent acquisition strategy, project management, compliance and contract management, training and development, stakeholder engagement, and negotiation—skills I believe can support the board’s planning and stewardship efforts.
I’ve volunteered with organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Meals on Wheels, and Matthew 25: Ministries, and have participated in local events like the Ohio River Paddlefest and FCC’s Learning Is Cool. Fun fact: I’ve officiated the weddings of four of my close friends!
Though new to the community, I’m eager to support local initiatives, listen to the needs of our residents, and help foster a sense of connection and enthusiasm in a neighborhood that’s already so meaningful to those I care about.
