Thank you for visiting  my site. Let me take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself and why I’m running for office. At the age of ten, my family immigrated to the US and settled into the welcoming neighborhood of Kemp Mill in Silver Spring, Maryland. 

Growing up in Montgomery County—a dynamic and ever-changing county—has allowed me to understand and appreciate first-hand the myriad of community concerns, while also benefiting from the richness of its diversity. As a result of my experiences, including my eight years as a United States Marine, public service became an essential part of who I am.  

It is with this strong desire to serve that I begin this exploratory phase of my candidacy for an elected office in Montgomery County. With input from you and my commitment to a process that is open, inclusive, and transparent, we can begin to first renew, and then fulfill tomorrow's promise.

I want to hear what you have to say about the best ways to tackle the issues that impact your daily lives: from affordable housing, economic revitalization and transportation, to our pervasive education gap, crime and fiscal responsibility. 

Please take a moment and answer this quick survey to share your thoughts and ideas with me.

Thank you.
