Proven Experience

An Urban Planner and Landscape Architect by trade, I've worked for the University of Virginia Foundation for over two decades, leading design and development projects that prioritize sustainable growth and responsible land use.

On top of this, my public service record in Albemarle spans 15 years and speaks for itself. Through my record as Chair of both the Albemarle County Architectural Review Board and the Planning Commission, I’ve been hands-on helping to shape our region — not just in what we build, but how we build, with care for future generations.

Educator & Mentor

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is mentoring students at the UVA School of Architecture. Helping the next generation of planners and designers think critically about sustainability, community design, and housing equity gives me genuine hope for what’s ahead.

Adjunct Professor, UVA School of Architecture

My wife and I are proud parents of two daughters who both graduated from local public schools and now raise their own families here in Virginia. We’re also doting grandparents to a spirited granddaughter who keeps us smiling and grounded.

This is personal for me. I want Albemarle County to be a place where families like mine — and yours — can thrive for years to come.
