Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Oh you know, Just another Oligarch or well connected Narcissist wanting to hold power for themselves...I'm kidding.

I'm a working class American that was sold the idea that good work, sensibility, and diligence will be rewarded with financial stability and a comfortable life. Perhaps I'm stubborn to still believe in that. I have life and employment experiences ranging from Military Service to Security, Commercial trucking, Information Technology, Food Service, and Scientific Research.

I love learning about the world, people, and how things work. (and when they don't)

I'm a DIYer, not just because its a smart way to save money, but because there is a strong sense of pride in fixing and building something with your own hands.

My Father taught me that.

I'm a hiker, runner, motorcyclist, traveler, an occasional adrenaline junky, and despite being an adult; a dreamer for the future we were promised.

I believe in the concept of "Sonder" because we all deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and patience. From the Chief Executive Officer to the Janitorial Worker.

My Mother taught me that.

I made a bold and insane decision to do this, despite having no political connections or financial support, at the cost of my personal privacy. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of the status quo. If you've made it this far, I think you are too. Let's work together and do something about it. I need your help.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Like many Americans, I have watched as the politics of our country drift further and further away from some very basic concepts. Government is supposed to keep your life safe, affordable, peaceful, healthy, and fair with personal liberty as the bare minimum right. In exchange, we follow the law, serve our communities, serve our country, vote, and pay our taxes.

Not funnel the majority of our taxes to never ending regime change wars, while giving unreasonable tax breaks to the top 10% earners. (while the majority budget pay check to pay check)

Let's put money into infrastructure, education, agriculture, healthcare, and respectable wages for our first responders and educators.I believe in direct communication : to be simple, clear, and concise. So I will add a list of some key points that are of great concern to me. (see next "key section")-Repealing Tennessee's Restrictions against enacting ANY reasonable rent price controls.

-RIGHT TO REPAIR (defend our farmers)

-Investigate AIPAC for Espionage and Treason against the United States

-Pro Nuclear Energy

-Repeal the Patriot Act

-STOP AI Data centers.

-Removal of all FLOCK cameras

-Release the Epstein Files - Detain, Investigate, Imprison.

-Modern Terminal for Truckers to rest, transfer, and repair.

-Return of Modern Passenger rail systems

-Protect our parks and wild life

-No more of our taxes to Genocidal countries and regime change wars.

-Make the use of AI to produce news and informational content about real world events = an arrestable offense.

-Finish the fight against human, drug, and weapons trafficking.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Tennesseans should have the strongest voice on how their tax dollars are spent. Not corporations or Oligarchs.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

So far, none. (June 2026) I need your help, I need your voice.
