With 24 years of IAM membership, this candidate brings extensive experience, proven leadership, and a deep commitment to protecting the rights and interests of the membership. Before advancing to District leadership, he served approximately 13 years as Chief Union Steward for PSA Airlines, where he worked directly with members to address grievances, interpret contract language, resolve workplace issues, and ensure employees received the representation they deserved.

His dedication to the membership led to his election as District 142 Vice President At-Large and, ultimately, his appointment as General Chair in August 2025. Throughout his years of service, he has gained firsthand experience navigating the challenges members face and understands the importance of having knowledgeable, accessible, and engaged union leadership.

He believes a strong union is built on active representation, accountability, and member involvement. Whether assisting an individual member with a grievance, addressing contract concerns, or advocating for improvements in the workplace, he understands that every issue matters because behind every grievance and every contract provision is a member whose livelihood and future are at stake.

He is running for General Chair because he cares deeply about the future of our union and the people it represents. He believes members deserve leadership that listens, communicates openly, stands behind its commitments, and never loses sight of who the union exists to serve.

As part of the Forward Together District Slate, he is committed to leading with honesty, transparency, and integrity while working to strengthen representation, protect member rights, and build a District where every member has a voice and every Local has the support it needs.

This is what change looks like.
