Candidate for
Member of Council; City of Cincinnati

I am a member of the Cincinnati City Council, and I serve as chair of the Job Creation Committee, while also serving as a member of the Budget and Finance, and Livable Communities Committees. My desire is to work to establish policies that help improve the quality of life for all Cincinnatians.

I have previously served five terms on City Council, and have a long history of public service with 20 years in various administrative/management positions in government and with various organizations, including the Ohio Civil Rights Commission and the United Way.

I hold a bachelor's degree in urban management and a master's degree in social foundations of education, both from the University of Cincinnati. Most recently I have received a Certificate in Authentic Leadership Development from Harvard Business School.

Beyond my public service, I also serve as Executive Pastor of Renew Community Church. My wife, Coleen, and I reside in College Hill with our three children.
