We must work to help Atlantans turn their dreams into small businesses that become the backbone of our community.

Growing up I worked with my grandfather to make headstones for families that couldn’t afford them. He taught me the value of having a strong work ethic, but also about giving back.

Working hard is important, but without real opportunity, it can only take you so far.

As a City Councilman I will work to expand economic pathways and high-quality job opportunities in neighborhoods across Atlanta.

My grandfather also taught me that small businesses are the lifeblood of any community. I’ll work to cut red tape, ease paperwork and regulations to it make it easier to open and operate a business in Atlanta.
