MY RECORD
A record of service.
Real results for Brentwood.
I’ve had the opportunity to serve Brentwood in elected and appointed roles, working on issues that affect our schools, parks, families, and community.
Through each role, my approach has stayed the same: listen, ask questions, do the work, and stay focused on results.
