One of my favorite parts of serving on the Eagle Mountain City Council was listening to the dreams our residents had for their neighborhoods. When I look back on projects like Woodhaven and Smith Ranch Park, I see more than playgrounds and fields — I see neighbors who believed our kids, our families, and even our wildlife deserved something better.

It’s that time of year again—the backpacks are packed, the lunchboxes are filled, and excitement is in the air as our Eagle Mountain students head back to school!

People have asked me why I do what I do at the Chamber and on City Council. This is why! I come from a small business family and I know the hard work it takes to create a place of peace and prosperity—a shining city on a hill.

Scott was one of my biggest cheerleaders. He believed in what I’m doing—putting myself out there to serve, to lead, and to try and make a difference.
