I’m a working parent, small business owner, and award-winning filmmaker. I grew up in Sutton and Grafton, built a career out in the world, and came home to raise my kids and serve the community that shaped me. I’m running because I want my kids, and yours, to have a future here. We deserve more than excuses from career politicians who’ve had a decade to deliver and haven’t. Government should be judged by what it produces, not what it promises.

If elected, I’ll hold a town hall every month, on a schedule you can plan around. I’ll tell you what’s happening on Beacon Hill, and you’ll tell me where you need help and what’s working and what isn’t. Conversations with many of you are where I’ve gotten my best ideas. Hecklers welcome, pun intended. Keep me accountable.

Speaking of accountability...

Our current representative ranks 42nd out of 43 representatives with at least a decade in office in budget earmarks brought home.¹ It’s not about being in the minority party. Over the same decade, Republican Reps. Paul Frost in Auburn and David Muradian in Grafton brought home significantly more. Meanwhile, our roads crumble and water safety remains a concern. He’s been part of Beacon Hill for over a decade. Bringing resources home is the job.

Our district is invisible.

For 25 years I’ve been an award-winning director and producer, including over a decade as supervising producer on House Hunters International. Film is a business: the product is creative, but the financial responsibilities are real, especially working with major media companies, as I do now. Producing means managing budgets, listening, and finding the truth in complicated stories. From war zones to kitchen tables, I’ve asked hard questions and found common ground. Government needs all of those skills.

The 18th District deserves a representative focused on the priorities we share: affordability, safety, opportunity, and a future we’re ready for. When the barn gets too small, we raise a new one together—we don’t burn down our neighbors’.

I’ll work for everyone here, whether they vote for me or not. If you believe it’s time to stop blaming and start building, I ask for your vote.
