Born and raised in southwest Ohio’s premier steelmaking city, Middletown, Ohio, I’m a lifelong Ohio resident who came to Columbus for college and law school at The Ohio State University.  I stuck around central Ohio after graduation and ended up meeting my wonderful wife Robin, and moved up to Worthington, where she lived, in 2014.  

I have spent the last 15 years working at the Ohio Rail Development Commission and specializing in public-private partnerships, overseeing $2bn+ worth of projects since taking over our grant and loan program in 2017.  Public service is one of my passions, and in my spare time I’ve volunteered with a number of organizations, serving as a co-chair on a Transportation Research Board subcommittee, as an executive committee member of Building Worthington’s Future, as a member of Worthington’s Community Relations Commission, and a proud volunteer on the Worthington Interfaith Neighbors’ yearly picnic committee. 

I’m also proud to say I’m Worthington’s first Latino candidate for Council!
