Meet the candidate
Committed to public service. Dedicated to Andover.
I have proudly called Andover home for 11 years with my husband. I believe our town deserves thoughtful leadership that listens to residents, respects taxpayers, and brings people together.
During my 39-year federal government career, I gained extensive experience in budgets, program audits, operational efficiency, policy development, and managing complex nationwide programs. In my final five years with the IRS, I served as Chief of Physical Security Programs and Procedures. I also contributed to national active-shooter policy through the federal Interagency Security Committee.
I am running to put that experience to work for Andover — with accountability, practical problem-solving, and respect for the community we share.
A practical approach
My Priorities for Andover
Efficient, Accountable Government
Use experience in audits, management, and process improvement to ask thoughtful questions and seek measurable results.
Public Safety & Preparedness
Bring national security-program leadership experience to constructive discussions about safe facilities and community readiness.
Listening & Transparency
Encourage clear communication, open dialogue, and decisions informed by residents' concerns.
Preserving Andover's Character
Balance responsible planning with the history, neighborhoods, and quality of life that make Andover special.
A Community for Everyone
Promote respectful collaboration and opportunities for residents of every generation and background to participate.
Rooted in Andover
Service Beyond My Career
Andover's sense of community is one of the reasons I am proud to call it home.
I have served on Andover's Commission for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and am a member of the Rotary Club of Andover. As the father of a U.S. Marine veteran, I am also proud to support Run for the Troops and its work on behalf of veterans.
“I want to bring my experience, my commitment to service, and my willingness to listen to the Andover Select Board.”
