About Me:

My family and I have proudly called Riverstone home since 2016. My wife and I have been married for almost 16 years, and together we’re raising our three young children right here in this wonderful community. Over the years, we’ve watched Riverstone grow into a beautiful, safe, and welcoming place for families — one we’re truly grateful to be part of. 

As a general contractor and business owner, I’ve learned the importance of careful budgeting, planning, and efficient project management. I believe these skills can help our community continue to thrive while being mindful of expenses and long-term sustainability.

If elected as a Board Member, my goal is to promote transparency, unity, and financial responsibility. Most importantly, I want to ensure every decision made reflects the best interests of our residents and helps keep Riverstone the exceptional community we all love to call home. I’m always there for my family, and with your vote would love to be there for my Riverstone family. Please vote for me!

I’ve always believed in giving back to the community that has given so much to my family and me. I’ve volunteered with the Watch D.O.G.S. program for Fort Bend ISD, helping promote safety and engagement in our schools. I’ve proudly served with ROCA, contributing to local improvement initiatives.

Through my franchise COOP, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with the Houston Texans, Rockets, and Astros to raise funds for the City of Houston. I’ve organized numerous fundraisers supporting causes close to my heart — from honoring Officer Dhaliwal to helping Central Texas flood victims. Additionally, I’ve supported Afshi Charania’s campaign, reflecting my commitment to civic engagement and community leadership.
