An IAM member since 1988, this candidate brings nearly four decades of union membership and a lifelong commitment to protecting the rights, benefits, and working conditions of our membership. Throughout his years in the labor movement, he has remained dedicated to the principles of solidarity, collective bargaining, and ensuring working people have a strong voice in the workplace.

With experience serving on multiple negotiating teams across several companies, he understands the preparation, persistence, and unity required to secure strong collective bargaining agreements. He has firsthand experience with the challenges of negotiations and recognizes that the agreements members work under today are the result of years of hard-fought battles, sacrifice, and collective action.

He is running for District 142 General Chair because he believes those agreements must be defended, protected, and strengthened for the members who depend on them. He understands that protecting a contract means more than having strong language on paper. It means enforcing its provisions, holding employers accountable, addressing violations, and ensuring every member receives the protections they have earned.

His commitment is to stand up for the membership, preserve the standards established through collective bargaining, and continue fighting for agreements that provide fair wages, strong benefits, safe working conditions, and dignity on the job.

As part of the Forward Together District Slate, he is committed to protecting what generations of union members have fought to achieve while continuing the work of building stronger representation and a stronger future for District 142.

This is what change looks like.
