Hi, I'm Joe.
I was born in Seattle and I've lived in King County my whole life. In 2013 my family and I bought our home in SeaTac, and this is where we're raising our four kids. They've grown up in programs at the SeaTac Community Center and in our local schools, and our family picks up litter together on the street we adopted in South SeaTac.
I started working for the City of Seattle at 19, in the trades, as a signs and markings technician. That meant putting up street signs and painting crosswalks. I also worked nights at a second job in the trades, as an equipment operator. Over 20 years I worked my way up to operations manager. Today I lead a team of skilled tradespeople and manage an annual operating budget of just under $7 million.
Before COVID, I coached youth football in South Seattle and helped keep that program going when its money was running out. In 2023, SeaTac voters elected me to the City Council. I chair the Public Safety and Justice Committee. I also sit on the Puget Sound Fire Governance Board as an advisory member, and I represent SeaTac on a national transportation committee with the National League of Cities.
I know what it takes to get a sign replaced or a crosswalk repainted, because for years that was my job. And with a public budget in my hands every day, taking care of tax dollars isn't lost on me. I bring that same practical eye to every decision on the Council.
I'm a husband, a father of four and a man of faith, and I'd be grateful for your vote in 2027.
