I’m a third-generation resident of District 2, where my wife and I are now raising our daughter in the same neighborhood I grew up in. I attended various schools in East Dallas and graduated from the famous Woodrow Wilson High School. Since then, I have had the opportunity to serve in various ways, including as a City Council Member for the City of Dallas, representing District 2. I’ve also served as the Vice President for the Dallas Park and Recreation Board, where I worked for the betterment of my neighborhood for more than seven years. I’ve been committed to serving people my entire life, from my family’s small business to working with policy to improve the quality of life for the residents of Dallas. I’m dedicated to all neighborhoods throughout the district, addressing issues from infrastructure to housing to public safety to economic development.
