Governing Principles
Layton is the largest city in Davis County and I am dedicated to assuring it remains the best place to live, work, and raise a family. Municipal government should be people-focused and data-driven, free from conflicts of interest. I am bound to uphold the constitutions of the United States of America and the State of Utah. It is an honor to represent you and your family.
Bio

Governing Principles
I am married to my wife Kayla and we have three children. We love living in Layton, having started out in a townhome in the middle of the City, afterwards moving to both the east and west sides of town. I practice law, specializing in appellate litigation and trust-based estate planning. When not spending time with my family, I enjoy reading, writing, watching sports, and studying history.

ISSUES
Water

Good Governance
For far too long our water policy has been detached from the realities of our dry, semi-arid desert climate. I will continue to steer our policy conversations and ordinances toward commonplace conservation to assure that our kids and grandkids have the water that they need to thrive.

Layton City exists to deliver necessary services to the residents it serves. I work to assure the City’s water, sewer, streets, police, fire, parks, and other utilities and services are adequately funded, efficiently trained and maintained, and ready for citizen use whenever they are called upon
Fiscal Conservatism

Fiscal Conservatism
Unlike the federal government, a municipal government like Layton cannot print its own money. Layton's budget must be centered in reality--just how you and I run our own household budgets. I will seek to improve necessary city services while remaining vigilant in defending the sacred nature of taxpayer funds so that they are never wasted.
Housing

Fiscal Conservatism
We need an 'all-of-the-above' solution to housing as more and more of us are priced out of the market. Our world is changing, but a world that forgets where it came from is one which is sure to lose its way. Housing is at the forefront of City planning and our General Plan provides a roadmap to assure that we as a Council plan for growth responsibly.
