“He brings a fresh perspective, a depth of knowledge, and a strategic vision that aligns perfectly with our city’s growth objectives,” city manager John Willis stated in a recent news release. “We love his energy and positive attitude. He’s going to hit the ground running and work extremely well with members of our community.”
