i was the most senior council member

"It was a distinct honor and an embraced privilege to be able to serve and represent the many faces of the many races born and raised or arrived from the various places that chose Brooklyn Park as their refuge and safe haven to live, work, worship, or raise a family."

     the people's voice and choice

It has been a distinct honor and an embraced privilege to have served and represented the Central District for the past four years. I was the longest-standing council member. I was the most Senior councilmember. And we all know that experience truly matters, combined with life-learned lessons. All the unique qualities the people need and deserve in leadership today. Especially locally, where we all chose to live, lay our heads, and raise our families.

I am a devoted, dedicated, and committed husband to my wife of 40 years and our family. Together, we were blessed and gifted with three loving children, and through their growth and maturation, they have blessed and gifted us with six incredible grandchildren.

I am a US Navy Honorman award recipient, honorably discharged, veteran of war, and a disabled veteran who serves you, your family, and this country nobly and with honor. And the path that I took has no expiration date. As I continue to serve and represent you, your families, and this city.

Over the past four years. We have unfortunately been faced with hidden agendas and personal motives with this leadership. Unfortunately, collective efforts that I refuse to be a part of or too. You, the diverse people, elected me to serve and represent you. And undeniably, upgrades, I have nobly performed my duties and answered your calls and emails diligently.

I have made my position known and clearfaced hidden agendas and personal motives within when it comes to controversial voting, like the Blue Line and 252 expansion, local transportation, fire stations, taxes, and the improvements and upgrades to the CAC. 

I am not against the Blue Line or 252 expansion. I am for, right now East-West local transportation for our residents. And I am also in favor of those meaningful conversations of accountability that we need to have about increasing safety measures right now on 252. 

I am here to begin those meaningful conversations of accountability that we are not having that we need to begin to have. Regardless of how difficult, challenging, or uncomfortable it might make others think or feel. These are the unspoken conversations we need to have to help guide us toward a united path forward. I have made my position known and cleared hidden agendas and personal motives when it comes to controversial voting, like the Blue Line and 252 expansion, local transportation, fire stations, taxes, and the improvements and upgrades to the CAC. as one in harmony. Creating a unified blueprint for other municipalities to follow. That tells the stories about how we came together and worked together to begin writing and telling the new stories about Brooklyn Park.

In August 2023, I, Founding Ambassador in partnership with the Northwest Tourism Board, brought back to the Twin Cities  GusMacker.com , 3 on 3 basketball Tournament. A tournament that I personally traveled with my family and successfully competed in for over 15 years. It was held right here in Brooklyn Park at the North Hennepin Community College. And since then, we have hosted nearly 7000 people from across the US, making our city the destination city for that weekend. People traveled here, stayed in hotels, and dined in our city with their families just to play basketball, compete, eat at food trucks, and enjoy  family fun activities. We're looking forward to bringing it back August 15-16 weekend 2026.

In the contentious talks about the CAC and the hockey rinks over basketball. I have taken the lead in these efforts. I am currently in talks with Smitharenas.com to build a multi-use and multi-purpose facility with adult and youth programming, a community pool, and performing-arts wings right here in Brooklyn Park. And they are excited to make Brooklyn Park home.

I am highly concerned about our public safety. As we all should, would, and could be. However, please understand that our current situation is not just unique to Brooklyn Park. The majority of municipalities across the country are competing to find good officers to serve and protect our diverse community equally, equitably, openly, honestly, and with integrity.

Now, my Giraffee Size Vision for our future is to create an economically viable and sustainable city for generations and generations to grow and appreciate. While transforming our city into a city of, for, with, by, and about you, the people. A city that's welcoming, friendly, inviting, and includes our untapped and undeniable diversity. And begin building a bridge that unites us all. Where people can travel freely without prejudice, hate, or discrimination to open, equal opportunities, access, and resources. In the largest expanded demographically mixed community in the region in the past 30-plus years. Yet our city, unfortunately, hasn't kept pace with those changing dynamics.
