Biographical Info:

I am a principled advocate for life, liberty, and strong families. I was homeschooled through high school, which allowed me to begin college at 16. By 19, I had built and sold a software business, opening the door to further entrepreneurial ventures.

Most recently, I served as a Special Projects Advisor to a U.S. Congressman, traveling regularly to and from Washington, D.C., managing the public safety and emergency management legislative portfolio.

I also co-founded The Dandy Project, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening families by providing practical resources to parents in need. Through this work, we deliver essentials like car seats, strollers, diapers, and formula at no cost to families.

I am the son of a veteran and one of seven siblings (four of whom have served in the United States Army). I was raised with a deep respect for service, duty, and country. That legacy instilled in me a strong sense of personal responsibility, civic duty, and a commitment to putting the next generation first.

Statement:

I’m running for office because our state needs leaders grounded in conservative principles and focused on what actually strengthens communities. That means protecting life, defending liberty, and ensuring families have the support they need to succeed.

It also means recognizing that government works best when it is limited, accountable, and focused on safeguarding the constitutional rights of the people and not expanding into their lives.
