For more than 40 years I have called this area home. It’s where I was raised, educated, and reared in a life of community and public service.

My wife Maria and I are life-long residents of the 24th Ohio House District where we are proudly raising our four children. We are excited about my candidacy for the Ohio House of Representatives because this is the community that has given our family everything.

My eight years as a leading Member of the Upper Arlington City Council is experience I will count on in the work ahead. My personal record of accomplishment as a youth coach and neighborhood volunteer will guide me every day as your State Representative.

I have genuinely been humbled by all the support I have received in person, over the phone, and through the mail - there is much to do, and I can't wait to run this race! I have already been walking our neighborhoods.

Chris and Stefanie Spielman, good friends of Maria and mine, have graciously agreed to serve as the Campaign Committee Co-Chairs. I am truly honored by their commitment and character in support of my candidacy to continue in public service.

I ask for your views and insight for the future of central Ohio, as it is you and I that can make the difference for our families and provide a vision for a better tomorrow right here in our great community. Please feel free to email me to share your thoughts as we move forward together.

Cordially,
