Meet Jeff
"I didn't grow up with connections or money. I grew up with neighbors who looked out for each other. That's the city I want to build."
Jeff was born and raised in North Minneapolis — a neighborhood that shaped his understanding of what city government can do when it actually shows up for people. He watched his parents work two jobs each, navigate a broken housing system, and still find time to volunteer at the local school.
After earning his degree in Law Enforcement, He spent 21 years as a Private Investigator. He continued to live in Minneapolis until he met his now wife in 2012. Jeff has a daughter and a son both in the Isanti School District. Of course their family dog too.
As a Mayor in Isanti 2019-2022, Jeff delivered: new parks, repaved streets, and a small business growth. Now he's ready to bring that same energy to every corner of the city.

Jeff's Core Values
— Accountability
City government should answer to residents — not special interests. Jeff will open the books and hold every department to measurable results.
— Equity
Every neighborhood deserves the same quality of services, infrastructure, and opportunity as the next!
— Pragmatism
Jeff is a problem-solver, not an ideologue. He works across the aisle to get things done for the people he serves.
— Community
The best ideas come from residents. Jeff will govern with open doors, town halls, and genuine listening sessions in every district.
