Why I Am Running
My Story
I fought my way up the ladder and through blood, sweat, tears learned the technology industry and how to run a business. I have achieved success using hard work and dedication. I thrive on helping others achieve the opportunities I didn’t have because I understand the struggle. I don’t have all the answers on every single issue that plagues our parish, but I know what Terrebonne Parish can be, and I know how to build the talented teams we need to move us forward and make this a better place to live… for all of us
Experience
I will work to bring a level of service and efficiency to government never before seen in Terrebonne Parish, and I’m uniquely qualified to do so. My experience as a business leader and volunteer has given me keen insight into our workforce, our talent and our community, and I’m ready to lead our parish government to achieve more for our citizens.

Community Involvement
and Accolades
If not for those who gave back to me and provided me opportunities, I would not be where I am today. For that reason, I have always believed it was important to give back to the community and hopefully provide someone else the opportunities I was afforded.

My Plan For Terrebonne
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!
Like you, I’m a proud product of this community, and I want to see it grow and prosper. As your Parish President, I will ensure Terrebonne Parish is a place with solid infrastructure, where opportunity can thrive to ultimately provide a better quality of life for all of us. This conversation starts with a balance of tradition, culture, and progress. Some issues need to be addressed locally, some at the regional level, and then finally those at the state level.
