He understand the importance of knowing the contract, documenting the facts, asking the right questions, and standing up for members when it matters most. He believe effective union leadership requires transparency, accountability, accessibility, and the courage to have difficult conversations.

As a candidate for Vice President of Alaska Airlines on the Forward Together slate, he is committed to bringing their experience from Alaska and the Bay Area to the District level. Their goal is to build stronger connections with members, strengthen representation, and ensure every member knows they are heard, respected, and represented.
