As the first Manager of the Oil & Gas Division for the City of Aurora, I will lead the City in implementing appropriate regulations for the Petroleum Industry seeking to drill within the city limits. The Division will ensure that all permitting, drilling, completion, and production activities are performed with safety of citizens and the environment as top priorities.

After my wife and I adopted four siblings from Peru in 2017, I wrote WE BELIEVED to chronicle our incredible 10-year faith journey that led to that decision. I also wrote this book to encourage others in their own faith journey and to help others hear more clearly from God, and better fulfill His purposes in their lives. WE BELIEVED is winner of the Bronze Medal in the Family/Parenting category of the 2019 Illumination Book Awards.
