How long I have lived in Ridgewood: Four years.

Interests and hobbies: Writing, hunting, fishing, cooking.

My favorite place to relax in Ridgewood: It’s difficult to narrow it down to just one place in Ridgewood. Depending on my mood, I might enjoy spending an afternoon at Graydon with my son Hunter, grilling in my backyard or taking a walk through the downtown.

A “perfect day” in Ridgewood would include: The Village’s Fourth of July celebration is pretty close to perfection thanks to the many great volunteers who work so hard all year long to make that day happen for all of us in Ridgewood.

The best-kept secret in the village: You can always find a parking space if you’re willing to walk.

The best thing about Ridgewood: Its residents.

One thing I would like to change in the village: I would like to finally see some progress made in offering additional parking downtown so you don’t have to walk as far after finding a space.

The best part of my job: My schedule is very flexible, and I don’t have to commute.

The most difficult part of my job: Deciding what to write about.

The big decision I’m currently wrestling with: I’m a new father and a councilman. I have several big decisions ahead.

I am most proud of: My family.
