I am committed is to serving all residents of Upland. I believe in governing with transparency, honesty, and ethical leadership. Public safety, including police, fire, streets, alley’s, sidewalks, trees, and other public infrastructure, using fiscally conservative disciplines, are the priorities that I have strived for as your Mayor.
I am a Navy Veteran. I firmly believes in public service and served on the Upland Planning Commission for many years before being appointed to the Upland City Council. I also serve on the Mt. San Antonio College Real Estate Advisory Committee, and served on the Local Candidate Review Committees
My family have been residents of Upland for almost 60 years. I witnessed Upland grow from 16,000 residents to over 77,000.
I attended Upland Schools, participated in youth and adults sports programs. My wife, Jody and I raised 4 children in Upland.
I continue to be an advocate for all residents of Upland and will make the next 4 years the time for Upland to once again be a city that provides a safe and prosperous home for all our residents, businesses, and visitors.

I supported Strategic Growth for Upland, which must match the community’s needs. Upland has very few remaining parcels available for development. I also understand the need to support the revitalization of Historic Downtown Upland (HDU). When you visit HDU you are seeing many improvements and there are many more coming.
I am pro-business. It is critical that the city council support businesses and those that create job growth throughout the entire city. Historic Downtown Upland must be a priority. I have recommend and encouragds the city staff to find grants and other means to enhance the downtown area.
I recognized the need to support business development in Districts 3 and 4 to meet the needs of the residents. Many vacant buildings are now filled and opportunities to have additional businesses continues as we add additional housing throughout the city.
I continue to make recommendations and encourage city staff to find additional ways to decrease vacancies, and increase business in districts 3 and 4, that will generate revenue to support the needs of all Upland residents.
