I’m a proud first-generation American, born and raised in Wyoming. My story started on the corner of 36th and Michael, where I learned what it meant to grow up in a working-class. I went to Oriole Park Elementary, spent parts of high school at Rogers, and graduated through Grandville Public Schools. Sundays were for the 28th Street Flea Market with my family, and every summer I looked forward to the Metro Cruise festival, watching the cars roll down the street and feeling the city come alive.

After graduating from Ferris State University, I started my career in non-profit and later served as a staffer in the U.S. House of Representatives. I’ve worked across Michigan protecting voting rights, expanding ballot access, and defending our democracy because I know what’s at stake when voices are left out.

Now I’m running for Wyoming City Council to make sure our local government reflects our lived experiences. As an advocate and organizer, I know how important it is to shift who’s at the table so our communities aren’t just represented, but uplifted. I’m ready to lead with action, reconnecting residents to City Hall and making sure decisions are made with us, not for us.

Soy un orgulloso estadounidense de primera generación, nacido y criado en Wyoming. Crecí en la esquina de la 36 y Michael, fui a Oriole Park, Rogers High y me gradué de las escuelas públicas de Grandville. Cada domingo me quedaba en la pulga de la 28 con mi familia, y cada verano esperaba el festival del Metro Cruise, viendo cómo la ciudad se llenaba de vida.

Después de graduarme de Ferris State, trabajé en organizaciones sin fines de lucro y también en la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos, defendiendo los derechos de los votantes y nuestra democracia en todo Michigan.

Ahora me postulo al Concejo Municipal de Wyoming para asegurar que nuestro gobierno refleje nuestras culturas, idiomas y experiencias. Como defensor bilingüe, sé lo importante que es que nuestras comunidades no solo estén representadas. Estoy listo para reconectar a los residentes y asegurar que las decisiones se tomen con nosotros, no por nosotros.
