Why I’m running

I’m running for Portsmouth Town Council because I love this town and I care about where it’s headed.

For 16 years I’ve run three small businesses here in Rhode Island, with a staff of more than 20 people. I know what it takes to make payroll, stick to a budget, and solve problems when things don’t go as planned. For the past six years I’ve chaired the Parks and Recreation Committee. I worked with the Four Hearts Foundation to get the new playground built on Turnpike Ave, and with our Parks and Rec Director to bring more programs to town. I also serve on the board of Portsmouth Youth Football & Cheer, where I helped plan a golf tournament that raised thousands of dollars in scholarships for our kids. At every home game you can find me in the snack shack. It’s a good reminder that so much of what makes Portsmouth a great place to raise a family comes from neighbors giving their time. Our schools are one of the best things about this town, and I want to keep them strong while keeping taxes in check.

I’m running for all of Portsmouth, and I’d be grateful for your vote.

I own the Comedy Connection located in East Providence RI. The Comedy Connection has come along way since I took it over back in 2010. My club now hosts some of the biggest names in comedy and has put Rhode Island on the map as a destination for comics to preform at.
