ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Ming Zhang
MY JOURNEY
It has been a long journey—from a liberal arts major to a science major, from an Assistant Professor of English in China to an IT technical instructor in the U.S., from a writer to a technical consultant writing code, and from an individual contributor as a trainer to an executive leader and business owner spanning multiple industries.
Amid these seemingly diverse, even disjointed, career paths runs a common thread: a relentless drive to step outside my comfort zone, push boundaries, and strive for the best results.
I often reflect on a question Walt Whitman asked over 150 years ago: “Where am I to deliver goods?” Inspired by the residents who dedicate themselves daily to our town with love and care, I have chosen to give back—partnering with homeowners and associations in a shared commitment to the public good. I bring the same dedication and excellence that have defined my two decades of leadership in business, account and project management, customer success, consulting, and operations.
Today, I am answering the call to serve on the Planning Board—not only because of my experience in real estate and property management but because my passion lies in strengthening our community and deepening civic engagement. To me, every voice matters.
I ask for your vote—let’s build a well-connected Westford together!
CAMPAIGN MISSION
My mission is to drive strategic, inclusive planning for Westford—ensuring responsible growth that meets our community’s needs without compromising our town’s character or infrastructure. As a proud Westford resident, devoted husband, father of three, and experienced real estate entrepreneur, I understand firsthand the importance of balanced development, affordable housing, and innovative infrastructure solutions. With a proven track record of executive leadership and community advocacy, I pledge to boost transparency, foster public–private partnerships, and engage every resident in our planning decisions. Together, we will build a sustainable, thriving Westford for today’s families and future generations.
