Meet DC

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here.

Twenty-five years ago, my father and I came to the United States seeking safety and a better future. Like many immigrants, I was driven by hope and a deep desire to give back to the country that gave us refuge. To help pay for college and deepen my understanding of this great nation, I initially enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and later commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army.

Over 22 years of military service, I had the honor of serving across the country and around the world. Those years taught me the true meaning of service, leadership, and the strength that comes from diverse, united communities.

After retiring from the Army, I chose to make Arlington my home. Of all the places I’ve lived, Arlington has always stood out—a place that leads with its values, ranks among the most educated and health-conscious cities in the nation, and continues to show what’s possible when people come together.

Now, I’m ready to serve this community in a new way. I believe it’s time for a fresh approach to politics—one that puts people before party, solutions before slogans, and action before division.

This is our moment. Let’s shape the future of Arlington—together.
