Originally from Nebraska, my family relocated to New Mexico in 1991, and I have called Rio Rancho home ever since. Growing up, I developed a strong passion for the outdoors while playing soccer and baseball.

I built a 20-year career in the restaurant and hospitality industry, with 14 years dedicated to management, human resources, and leadership development. Throughout this time, I focused on public relations, training and development, and public speaking, gaining valuable experience in team building and organizational growth.

In addition to my professional career, I earned my EMT license from the Albuquerque Fire Academy and spent eight years coaching youth soccer, fostering leadership and teamwork in young athletes. I remain actively involved in the community through Rotary Club, philanthropy efforts, and ongoing work toward our local search and rescue chapter.

Outside of work, I cherish time with my wife, two sons, and daughter. As a family, we enjoy playing sports, camping, fishing, and spending time at our cabin with friends.

I am a proud Albuquerque native with a strong background in customer service, sales, and utility operations. My career began at New Mexico Sports & Wellness, where I spent three years in management at the Highpoint hospitality desk and five years as a sales representative at Del Norte, building lasting relationships with clients and colleagues.

For 13 years, I served as a utility operator for ABCWUA, earning a state Level 4 license and gaining extensive experience in operations and infrastructure.

Growing up in Albuquerque, I played youth soccer and high school basketball, fostering a lifelong passion for teamwork and community. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, daughter, family, and friends, as well as staying active at the gym, attending concerts, camping, and cheering on my favorite sports teams.
