What we have is wonderful, let’s preserve, protect shared values, and propel our community to greater heights

    Investing in Our Thriving Future:

    -My vision is simple: Preserving a SAFE and welcoming Yardley with the unique charm and character we all love.

    -I’ve made it a priority to build real relationships throughout town and serve—supporting local businesses, working in Yardley Borough via both Planning and Environmental Action Commissions, even volunteering to coach youth Lacrosse teams in the area.

    -For example, through the Yardley Borough Comprehensive Plan, we’re focused on shepherding thoughtful, sustainable growth, that both honors our heritage yet plans wisely for the future. Such as, ensuring complete streets, that are safe and accessible to everyone.

    -With the EAC, I’ve been supported alongside a great team of people with the goal of protecting our natural beauty, from our open spaces and parks, to the Delaware River. Yardley’s become a ‘Bird Town,’ worked more closely with the DCNR, and Spearhead Project Earth to create opportunities for education and improvement everywhere.

    -I’ve never had desire to be a politician, but always wanted to give back. I have deep gratitude and love for the community here. With your vote I’d like to enact positive and lasting improvements to what is already pretty great.

    -I’m willing to be accountable, accessible, and dedicated to the success of Yardley Borough.

    Building Opportunity for Everyone:

    -I’m running on authenticity, being a man of the people, for the people - because that is what we need to navigate ahead.

    -Planning for our future starts by listening first, isolating the facts, staying realistic, and championing actionable solutions.

    -It’s a top priority that we keep communication open and support local growth— your government should keep their ear to the ground, streamline processes, and get rid of the red tape.

    -Make space for every voice—commuters, residents, visitors, business owners, and families. There are so many stakeholders. In a town our size, we can hear everyone, and we should.

    -I want to focus on our Children and Families, by using grants to renovate our parks and build new playgrounds if possible. Increasing community events.

    -Lead with transparency and pragmatism: regular outreach, feedback channels, and open office hours—so your ideas shape Yardley Borough’s future.

    -I’m approachable—whether I’m working in town or relaxing, please say hello. I want to hear your perspective.

    -Together, we’ll keep Yardley Borough special—and make it even more vibrant and welcoming for all.

    Preserving Yardley Borough Police:

    -As we steward our public safety resources, my priority is employing a fiscally responsible and data-driven approach to our public safety and policing needs now and into the future.

    -Planning for the professional development of our officers, properly equipping, incentivizing, and training our police program is work that should never wait.

    -It’s not a backlog issue, and it’s been BEGGING to be solved for YEARS now.

    -Through the ongoing ‘Policing Planning Committee research assessment’ sponsored by council we should learn a lot about our small towns needs. Caroline Thompson, and others are heading up that initiative, and I’d love to learn more when wrapped up (I hope soon).

    -I’ve looked at the data, the number and types of calls per month, but we need the FACTS, deep conversations with the team of Officers - and a realistic approach to maintain our autonomy as it has been for 100 years.

    -With flexible, creative thinking, we’ll look at the problem and budget holistically to FIND the BEST way to allocate funds, optimize shift coverage, and ensure rapid emergency response—WITHOUT compromising community policing.

    -I’m charged with maintaining and growing massive partnerships, and I’m really good at it. I believe I can win funding via grants, power up donations, leverage group purchasing, and get our full time Officers the help they need.

    -We WON’T need to charge for parking—there are more creative solutions than a barrier tax on residents and shoppers.

    -No last‑minute, no‑plan commitments. This takes devoted time embedded in a complex problem.

    -It’s your choice who you vote for Mayor. I’ll stay committed to our community’s wellness far into the future.
