A dedicated IAM member since 1998, this Allied Aviation fueler and member of Local Lodge 1445 has spent decades standing up for his coworkers and protecting the rights of working people. His union experience includes serving as Chief Shop Steward for Allied Aviation, Recording Secretary, and Local Lodge Trustee.

He believes the heart of union representation is fighting for members when their jobs and livelihoods are on the line. Whether helping a member navigate a workplace issue, educating employees about the benefits and protections provided by their union, or standing up when management pushes too far, he believes in staying engaged and never backing down.

His commitment to the membership doesn’t end when his shift does. Even on his days off, he remains focused on helping resolve problems and supporting his fellow members. That dedication reflects his belief that effective union leadership requires more than holding a title—it requires being willing to put in the work.

Away from the job and union responsibilities, he is a self-described summer guy who enjoys spending his vacations somewhere around the world with his feet in the sand and near the water.

As part of the Forward Together slate, he is committed to stronger representation, member education, protecting good union jobs, and ensuring that IAM members have leaders who will stand beside them when it matters most.

Join him and the Forward Together slate. Stand with your coworkers. Stand for stronger representation. Stand for a stronger IAM District 142.

This is what change looks like.
