Hooksett Town Council

I am proud to be running for Town Council in Hooksett, the community my family and I have called home since 2020. For the past decade, I have served as a Business Agent for Teamsters Local 633, where I represent hardworking men and women across New Hampshire and advocate for fair wages, strong benefits, and safe working conditions.

In my role, I have negotiated hundreds of contracts with both private and public sector employers, helping to protect and improve the lives of working families. My work has also extended beyond our state through my service as a Representative for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Brewery, Bakery, and Soft Drink Conference. This responsibility takes me across the country assisting local unions in negotiating and enforcing agreements that ensure dignity, fairness, and opportunity in the workplace.

I currently serve as one of the lead negotiators on the First Student National Negotiating Committee and was honored to be appointed to the New England UPS Negotiating Committee. These experiences have strengthened my ability to work collaboratively, solve complex problems, and deliver results that make a real difference in people’s lives — skills I believe are critical to effective local leadership.

I attended Bishop Brady High School before continuing my education at Rivier University. Those early experiences helped shape the values that guide me today: faith, family, and a deep commitment to community.

My wife Bethany and I have been married for 20 years and are raising our six daughters here in Hooksett. As a father, coach of girls’ basketball, and longtime advocate for working families, I understand firsthand the importance of safe neighborhoods, strong schools, and a local economy that works for everyone. Like many families in our town, we want a community where our children can grow, succeed, and choose to build their own futures.

I am running for Town Council because I believe Hooksett deserves leadership that listens, works hard, and puts the needs of residents first. I am motivated by the knowledge that public service is about improving the lives of everyday people and ensuring that all families have access to opportunity and a great place to live and work.

If elected, I will bring the same work ethic, dedication, and commitment to fairness that I have demonstrated throughout my career to the Town Council. Together, we can continue to make Hooksett a community that supports families, values hard work, and plans responsibly for the future.
