What do you love most about Dayton?
I love how people look out for each other, fight for each other, and lift each other up when needed. Dayton still remembers how to be a community.

Do you have a particular area or passion regarding your work as Mayor?
My passion is protecting the public interest in policy making; in ensuring representation through transparent communications with the public; and in improving the livability of Dayton so future generations will enjoy raising families here.

Who inspires you to be better?
My kids always inspire me to be better. I have to better the community and my work in it so this is a place that can raise them well and make them happy to return to, whether that’s for a visit or to raise their own families.

What is the last adventure you went on?
My family took a 13 day road trip to LA and Las Vegas to visit family and vacation. We had a great time!

If you were given 10 million dollars to spend on Dayton, how would you spend it?
For a responsible project, I would build a wastewater treatment plant and complete the inter-tie for the Fisher Farms Wells to improve our water and sewer capacity. For a fun project, I would build a recreation facility with public pool, state of the art gym, and teen lounge with games and drop in tutoring available (on the inside) and a water jetted skate park (on the outside) so on warmer days it would be a splash pad and the rest of the year a fun series of ramps for bikes, blades, and boards.
