Melrose deserves accountability and results.

I'm ready to deliver.

Let's elect an actual public servant who is dedicated to a stronger, more united city - not their own agenda.

Rooted in Family. Driven By Service.

I grew up in Houston, Texas, as the son and grandson of immigrants, sharecroppers, veterans, teachers, and trailblazers. Throughout my life, my family instilled the values of resilience in the face of obstacles, kindness, and empathy. They also guided me to learn that the greatest joys come when serving something greater than yourself.

I have always been passionate about public service. After attending Texas Christian University (TCU), I went on to work in the United States Senate in Washington, D.C. where I aided constituents daily who, for example, needed federal resources after a hurricane, help accessing benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, and assistance in initiating a disability claim. I did, however, see firsthand the insidious influence of partisan gamesmanship and special interests at the expense of working families, decided to leave to get a business education, and have since worked with various organizations to assist them in adopting best business practices.

In Washington, though, I was fortunate enough to meet the love of my life, Katie, a native of Manchester, New Hampshire. We would eventually move to the Boston-area in 2008 to be closer to her family and marry in 2009.

Melrose: A Place to Call Home

Katie and I made Melrose our home in 2016 where we have been blessed with two sons, Charlie (10) and Sam (7), and our beloved dog, Lady Bird (13). I coach at the Melrose Little League and Melrose Youth Basketball where I work with young athletes to develop their skills while learning the value in teamwork and good sportsmanship. Additionally, I dedicate my time to volunteering at the library at Hoover Elementary School and sit on the Board of Directors of The Bridge. My family and I are deeply devoted to Melrose, and I envision this great city fostering an environment where every individual has the opportunity to succeed and reach their potential.

In my spare time, you can find me cheering on the TCU Horned Frogs or playing and singing country music with my kids.

Committed to Results

In my professional life, I am measured solely by results. I plan on bringing that same mentality to my work on the City Council where I expect to be held accountable for the value I bring to Ward 7. Whether in the private, public, or nonprofit sectors, I am always collaborating with diverse stakeholder groups to find solutions that achieve broader objectives and meaningful impact. Anything less is unacceptable.

You can count on me to always be a "workhorse" and never a "show horse" and forgo the emptiness of performative politics that accomplish nothing. I will never seek to purposely divide our community for my own political gain and will always listen and seek common ground. My grandmother once told me, "Remember Alex, you were born with two ears and one mouth. Listen twice as much as you speak." I plan on making that incredible advice my North Star while in office.
