As mentioned in the local news report, the joint tax return information from the couple shows a reported total income for 2025 of $686,069 and an adjusted gross income of $675,246. That’s $130,749 in wages, $262,299 in capital gains, and $292,881 in additional income.

The 2025 financial disclosure estimated a net worth between $580,000 and $1.7 million.
