Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am many things. I am a father who is concerned about the state of our society my children are growing up in. I am a husband who wants to ensure the financial future I am building with my wife is sustainable in our economic outlook. I am a US Navy veteran that is concerned about the quality of care our veterans receive.

Finally, I am a native born South Carolinian that feels that I can better represent the totality of the voices of the citizens of SC District 69 than an individual that is beholden to the whims and will of the political machine of the two major political parties. Their partisanship has collectively damaged what it means to be indivisible and united.

4) Providing an accurate representation for the whole of the constituency of the District.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Unincorporated Man would be a book that would most accurately describe my political philosophy.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

An elected official should be honest, transparent, trustworthy, and courageous.

I am passionate and have a positive outlook for working towards a better future.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

The primary responsibility of an elected official is to actively and accurately represent the people they were elected to represent. An elected official is there to reign in the government to prevent it from becoming too overbearing into the rights of the individual citizen.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would like to direct the state government back towards respecting the rights of the individual.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I took the trash out at William Bryce Stadium during the USC home football games. I did this job for two seasons.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

The governor should be a respector of the State Legislature to be the voice of the people of the State. The governor should not interfere in the working of the Legislature on a day to day basis.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

1) Financial stability due to ineffective national leadership from the two major political parties.

2) Social stability due to the designed polarization of society caused by the partisanship of the two major political parties.

2) The further infringement of personal liberties by both the national and state government.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

I believe that sometimes a fresh set of eyes is beneficial to a stagnant system. A broken system can not be repaired by attempting the same failed actions repeatedly.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

I believe that the only way to truly improve our future economic and social stability is to learn to work with those of differing backgrounds.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

Not at this point.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Financial transparency of the government should be complete. The public officers that misuse public funds should be held accountable within the full extent of the law.
