Bio:
Eleven years ago, my wife and I embarked on a new chapter, drawn to Canby by an intangible allure. A late evening stroll after dining at a local restaurant, through the quiet, tree-lined streets, a gentle breeze carrying the promise of spring, sealed our decision. Wait Park, bathed in a soft, ethereal glow of its lights, became a cherished memory, a symbol of the peace and safety we yearned for. It was in that moment, under the canopy of the night sky, that Canby captured our hearts.
We planted roots in this fertile ground, nurturing our children amidst a community that embraced us. Together, we’ve built a small business, coached and cheered at little league games, and immersed ourselves in local governance. Our journey has been intertwined with Canby’s, a shared story of growth, challenges, triumphs, and enduring bonds.
Canby of today is different to the town of yesteryears. We’ve witnessed its evolution, a transformation mirrored in our own lives. Yet, through the passage of time, the essence of Canby remains: a place where neighbors become friends, and shared experiences forge an unbreakable spirit.
I cherish the camaraderie, the diversity, the resilience that define our community. We’ve weathered storms together, celebrated successes, and learned from setbacks. Canby is more than just a place to live; it’s a tapestry woven with threads of countless stories, a living, breathing entity that continues to shape us.
Let us embrace the future with optimism, building upon the foundation laid by generations before us. By investing in our community, we invest in ourselves and our children’s future. Canby is our home, a place where dreams take root and aspirations soar. Together, we can cultivate a thriving, vibrant community that stands as a beacon of hope for generations to come.
Why am I running for Canby City Council
Canby deserves a city government that is fiscally responsible, transparent, and focused on enhancing our community’s unique character. I will ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely on projects that benefit the entire community. By fostering a strong local economy, prioritizing essential services, and creating an inclusive environment, we can preserve Canby’s small-town charm while building a thriving city for everyone.
