There’s a saying I love, “A good shepherd smells like the sheep.” To me, that means real leadership isn’t distant. It’s right there beside you, hands-on, rooted in care, responsibility, and daily involvement in the lives of the people you serve.

As a longtime resident, my life in Cibolo has been rooted in family. I raised my children here, welcome my grandchildren here, and share this home with a big, close-knit family. The land we live on is more than soil beneath our feet; it is the heart of our family, a place where we care for sheep, chickens, bees, horses, and dogs, and where every fence mended and pasture walked is about protecting the future. This land, and this city, matter deeply because they hold the hopes of the families who call Cibolo home.

My work hasn’t stopped at the fence line. I’ve served on city boards, commissions, and with the Chamber, and I regularly attend regional partnership meetings. Through this service, I’ve worked to strengthen roads and drainage planning, advocate for thoughtful growth, and support local businesses. My focus is on keeping first things first, ensuring that the decisions shaping Cibolo reflect the needs of the families who live, work, and raise their children here.

I believe city leadership should feel like a neighbor you trust, present, caring, and willing to roll up their sleeves. That’s the kind of mayor I’ll be, staying close to the people, the details, and the decisions that touch your home, your street, and your daily life.
