Windham is the kind of town you choose on purpose — for the schools, the neighbors, and the sense that people still look out for each other. That's why my wife and I decided to raise our three daughters here.

I spent my early childhood as a foster kid and was fortunate to be adopted. After finishing high school, I answered the call to serve — two enlistments in the United States Marine Corps, including a deployment to Iraq. I was honorably discharged in 2008 and went on to earn my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Tufts University. Today I run a small business, work as a veterinarian and serve on Windham's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Subcommittee, and am finishing my MBA at the University of New Hampshire.

Windham deserves state representatives who are unapologetic champions of the Windham Agenda: strong public schools, real local control, and lower property taxes. These aren't Democratic or Republican priorities — they're Windham priorities. Full stop. That's my agenda, plain and simple.
