Learn, test, improve.
I earned a PhD in Genetics. Scientific training taught me to ask better questions, weigh evidence, examine assumptions, and revise conclusions when the facts change.
A different set of experiences for Concord
A career spent solving complex problems.
I’m a retired scientist and technology executive. Today, I apply that same habit of careful analysis to local government, volunteer work, and New Hampshire public policy.
I’m running for State Representative in Strafford County District 4 because the decisions made in Concord have real consequences for Barrington and Strafford — from school funding and property taxes to housing and opportunities for the next generation.
My approach: listen closely, understand the facts, identify root causes, evaluate options, and be accountable for what works.
Experience
Research discipline. Leadership experience. Local service.
From vision to execution.
My career as a technology executive focused on organizational performance and large-scale transformation. Achieving results required listening, building workable plans, and measuring outcomes.
Know what towns face.
I serve on Barrington’s Planning Board and Advisory Budget Committee and chair its Capital Improvement Program Committee. These roles put state-local tradeoffs in practical perspective.
Current town service
Serving Barrington, one decision at a time.
These roles involve the land use, budgets, and capital investments that shape the town’s future.
Land use and planning
I serve on Barrington’s Planning Board, which reviews land-use proposals and works within the town’s planning and zoning framework.
Municipal budgets and priorities
As a member of Barrington’s Advisory Budget Committee, I review the town’s municipal budget—not the school district budget—and consider spending priorities, costs, and implications for taxpayers.
Municipal capital planning and oversight
I chair Barrington’s newly created Capital Improvement Program Committee, helping strengthen oversight of municipal capital planning and spending. We evaluate proposed projects, priorities, and costs across multiple years.
Community and regional involvement
Volunteering beyond town hall.
My current and past service includes small-business mentoring, regional economic development discussions, and supporting people in our communities.
SCORE: Small-business mentoring
I continue to volunteer as a business mentor with SCORE, a nonprofit resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration. SCORE provides free mentoring to entrepreneurs and small-business owners looking to start, manage, or grow a business.
Tri-Region Economic Development Stakeholders
I participate in TREDS, a collaboration across southeastern New Hampshire and southwestern Maine. Stakeholders share information and discuss economic issues such as housing, workforce development, childcare, and business operations.
Waypoint Host Home and CASA
My wife and I volunteer with Waypoint’s Host Home program. I previously served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), advocating for children involved in the court system.
I also publish research and commentary through NH Insights, examining fiscal policy, education, and other issues affecting New Hampshire. Read NH Insights
What guides me
Government should be limited where it should be, capable where it must be, and accountable everywhere.
Smaller is not the same as better. What matters is whether government can do its essential work effectively, responsibly, and transparently.
