I am a lifelong resident of Park Ridge and went to Franklin, Lincoln and Maine South before attending the University of Iowa. I graduated as a Hawkeye in 1994 and within two years I married Lauren, whom I have known since seventh grade. We had four kids in six years and committed to raising our family in the same town where we have had deep roots for more than 50 years.

Professionally, I have worked in the information technology sector, selling software and services to Federal, State and Local government accounts and personally, I have been fortunate enough to be the Mayor of Park Ridge for the last 10 years.

From 2003-2011, I was a Park Ridge Park District Board Commissioner where I realized the importance of intergovernmental cooperation and the impact of creative problem-solving among all governing bodies in Park Ridge.

After those eight years at the Park District, I was elected as the 7th Ward Alderperson in 2012 and in 2015, with the unexpected passing of Mayor Dave Schmidt, I was appointed Mayor and then elected to the office in 2017 and reelected in 2021.

I have played soccer my whole life and coached all four of my children through many years of deep involvement as a referee, mentor, and Board member with Park Ridge Soccer Club.

In addition to volunteering with youth soccer and basketball, I have been involved with Park Ridge Lions Club, Park Ridge Wilderness Scouts and Princesses, St. Paul of the Cross Church, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.

In my spare time, I enjoy grilling, traveling, and fostering dogs from local animal shelters with my family.

Whether it is economic development, forward-thinking sustainability, respectful and open-minded discussions, or the innovation of projects and new initiatives – I have worked fiercely for all things Park Ridge and continue to be the City’s Cheerleader- in-Chief! 

My kids Ryan, Conor, Fiona and Timmy have grown up watching Lauren and me cherish Park Ridge and along with so many others, have worked hard to support and maintain this community as a beautiful, thriving, destination place in which to live, work and visit.

The Maloneys hope that future citizens and families will benefit from all the 60068 has to offer and continue to all work together to make the City an even more remarkable place to enjoy!
