Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant and have lived in Arizona for more than 30 years. I am committed to the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as outlined in the Declaration of Independence.

I was raised both on a ranch in Wyoming near Yellowstone National Park and in the suburbs of San Diego. These experiences instilled in me a strong sense of personal responsibility, along with the ability to work with others to solve problems and strengthen communities.

After my military service, I managed humanitarian programs in regions affected by war and civil conflict. Working in complex and often high-risk environments, I built consensus across cultural and ideological differences while remaining grounded in core values.

I have served on my HOA board and on several national youth leadership development boards. I bring a results-driven, service-oriented approach focused on solving problems and delivering measurable outcomes, not political rhetoric. My focus is on reducing partisan gridlock, strengthening Arizona’s economy, and advancing practical solutions for the people of Arizona.

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?

Proven leadership where results mattered -

I am a retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant who has spent a lifetime leading in challenging environments. After military service, I managed humanitarian programs in areas affected by war and civil conflict, where clear thinking, accountability, and sound judgment were essential. I am not seeking office to make speeches or build a political career. I am running to bring disciplined leadership, practical problem-solving, and a mission-first mindset to the Arizona Legislature. Voters should remember that I have led under pressure, delivered results, and will bring that same seriousness of purpose to public service.Results over rhetoric, service over politics -

My campaign is about results, not slogans. Arizona does not need more noise, more excuses, or more partisan theater. It needs elected officials who understand that public office is a responsibility to serve the people, protect taxpayers, and solve problems. I believe government should be limited, accountable, and focused on the core responsibilities it is supposed to perform well. I will work to cut through gridlock, promote fiscal responsibility, support economic growth, and advance practical solutions that strengthen families and communities. Voters should remember that I am focused on service, not self-promotion.Strong values, steady judgment, and the ability to work with others -

I believe effective leadership requires both conviction and the ability to work with others without surrendering core principles. My background, from ranch life in Wyoming to military service to international humanitarian work, taught me self-reliance, perseverance, and respect for people with different perspectives. I have also served on my HOA board and several national youth leadership development boards, giving me experience in local governance and community service. Voters should remember that I will stand firmly for my values, listen carefully, and work with others to move Arizona forward in a strong, stable, and responsible way.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about strengthening Arizona’s economy, ensuring fiscal responsibility, and promoting effective, accountable government. I believe public policy should focus on creating opportunity—supporting small businesses, encouraging job growth, and maintaining a regulatory environment that allows individuals and businesses to succeed. I am also committed to public safety, strong communities, and policies that respect individual liberty while maintaining order. Additionally, I am passionate about developing the next generation of leaders through education and mentorship, informed by my experience on youth leadership boards. My focus is on practical, results-driven policies that improve everyday life for Arizonans.
