Like many of you, I moved to Utah seeking the quality of life that makes this state special. My wife and I chose to raise our family here because of Utah's values, community spirit, and the promise of wide-open spaces where children can grow up safely.
But over the years, I've watched that promise threatened by unmanaged growth. I've sat in the same traffic jams you have, frustrated as developers build houses without first ensuring the roads, schools, and infrastructure can handle the growth. I've seen my neighbors' commutes stretch to 60-90 minutes each way, stealing precious time from their families.
With over 18 years of professional experience spanning technology, energy infrastructure, and business operations, I've built my career on solving complex problems and delivering practical solutions. From managing natural gas pipeline operations to leading software development teams, I understand how to get things done efficiently and effectively.
