My Values
I promise to earn your trust every single day through transparent decision-making and deep-rooted core values.
- I.
Do The Work Together
No matter your political affiliation, if we work together as a team, we can build a better Westfield.
- II.
Be Rational and Transparent
By prioritizing rational thinking and open communication, we can build a community of trust and transparency.
- III.
Listen More and Talk Less
By listening more, we can understand others better, learn new perspectives, and communicate more effectively.
- IV.
Ask the Hard Questions
The easy answer is not always the right answer. Asking the hard questions will help guide us to better decision-making.
My family has been in Westfield for over 60 years!
My grandmother was a realtor in town, my parents were Jefferson School sweethearts, and I was lucky enough to have all my cousins, aunts, and uncles live in town (many of them still do today). You may have also met one of our 100+ foster brothers and sisters who lived with us.
Surrounded by almost all of our friends and family, my wife Jillian, our two daughters, and I are excited about continuing to grow our roots and traditions in Westfield.
