ABOUT

I have spent more than 22 years as a business owner, with a career built on creating and growing independent retail brands. I founded REVOLVR Menswear in 2013 with my wife, Christine and we later launched Evrgreen Clothing in 2017, growing both out of our roots in Bozeman, Montana. In 2015, we expanded into Downtown Bend, establishing a presence that has since become a core part of our business and connection to the community. Having operated a storefront in the heart of Downtown Bend for close to a decade, I bring a firsthand, ground-level understanding of what it takes for independent retailers to thrive — from foot traffic and events to the everyday realities of running a small business in a downtown corridor. I am passionate about the continued vitality of Downtown Bend and am eager to bring my experience as a longtime local business owner to the Downtown Bend Association board, advocating for policies and initiatives that support a strong, vibrant downtown for businesses and the Bend community.
