I have been part of this community for over 20 years and have raised my four children here. Being a retired veteran, giving back is in my DNA. I retired from the Army as a Lieutenant Colonel and recently retired from Microsoft as an Enterprise Architect. In both roles, I designed and built data centers down the axis of the Euphrates River, in a missionary hospital in southeast Asia, the Rocky Mountain Front Range, and was the Architect at AF Space Command (Pre-Space Command) who helped move 700,000 AF end Points into the Microsoft Cloud. I’m also a small businessman and publisher of books on a wide range of subjects. I hold a master’s degree in History and serves our community on the School District 20 District Accountability Committee (DAC).
I am running because I want to see more citizens flourishing in our community. Because of that, quality of life and economic opportunity are the central themes of my campaign. As a military veteran I am especially concerned and attentive to the families of those serving our country, as well as those returning from duty. Watching COS grow and develop, I listen to the concerns of my neighbors, community and friends. This includes crime and public safety, housing and development, transportation, City as well as County services, innovation and business opportunity, and education of our children. Running for City Council is about serving my community, quality of life, and maximizing economic opportunity for my family, neighbors, and fellow citizens of Colorado Springs.
