I’m a lifelong resident of St. Paul. I raised my family here. I’m a father, an entrepreneur, a second-chance employer. 

In 1995, I started a restoration company out of my garage. Today, it’s a thriving business with 45 employees, headquartered on West Seventh. I love this place.

I’m a second-chance employer, not just because it’s a good thing to do—it is—but because it’s smart. Offering quality jobs to people who are in recovery or re-entering society provides income to those in need and reduces repeat offense. 

My mission: Good that elevates everyone. 

That’s what I’ll bring to St. Paul. Funding for programs that genuinely help people, but less government bureaucracy and lower taxes—so more money stays in the pockets of those who earned it. Safer streets, a thriving business sector, and excellent schools. Simple as that.

I’m not a politician. I’m a guy who’s spent 30 years creating opportunity, solving tough problems, balancing budgets, and working to make my community better. I want to do good with that experience—for my own family and for everyone who lives in our beautiful city.

Whether you have a house in Highland Park, an apartment in the Midway, or recently lost your home—you’re my neighbor. As mayor of St. Paul, I promise to do good and serve you.
