Candidate for City Council Place 6
Practical-Minded Solutions for Our City
I bring a modern, data-backed approach to addressing Pflugerville’s most pressing challenges.
As Pflugerville expands its water treatment systems and pipeline infrastructure, we need leaders who understand utility engineering. I will work to ensure long-term water reliability and fair rate structures for all residents.
Commercial and residential expansion along key corridors must carry its own weight. I will work to enforce disciplined growth policies, optimizing city budgets so existing homeowners aren't burdened with unfair taxes.
Traffic shouldn't be the cost of Pflugerville’s success. I will work to accelerate key roadway improvements (like Pflugerville Parkway extension to FM973), optimize traffic light timing, and integrate modern transportation systems.
With actual experience designing technology for first responders and public safety professionals, I will work to prioritize fully funding our police, firefighting and emergency medical response entities, and modernizing public safety infrastructure.
Pflugerville’s vibrant trail network and green spaces are what make our city special. I will continue to encourage the investment in park connectivity, family amenities, and environmental conservation as our community expands.
Government works best when it listens. I am committed to open town halls, digital community engagement tools, and absolute transparency in city council decision-making.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from Southern University and A&M College and will bring over 35 years of business developnent & formation, high-tech systems architecture, cybersecurity, and real estate infrastructure experience to the Pflugerville City Council.
An original member of IBM’s RISCSystem/6000 (RS/6000) product group, I co-led the design of floating-point math processors that powered world-class computing systems. As a serial co-founder, CEO, and CTO, I have co-founded and led multiple successful high-tech firms—including Skipstone (acquired by Adaptec Corporation), NORDview (acquired by SIMA Corporation), and LayerN/Britestream Networks (acquired by nCipher Corporation).
Unlike traditional politician rhetoric, I bring hands-on civil and infrastructure experience. As the co-developer (with my wife, Renae) of Magnolia Ranch Estates, we directly designed and managed the creation of a 123-acre subdivision complete with roads, electric and water utility infrastructure, and a shared 11-acre lake and community park facility/commons area.
Also, my Civic invlovement duties have included my tenure of several years on the City of Pflugeville's Parks & Rec Commission, several years as memeber of the City's Planning and Zoning Board, where I was President the last two years of my tenure there and currently, I am in my second term as member and Secretary of the Pflugerville Community (Economic) Development Corporation (PCDC).
