Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My guiding principle is simple: government should work for the people—not stand in their way. I believe in limited government, reducing unnecessary regulations and red tape, and ensuring every tax dollar is spent wisely through strong fiscal accountability.

As a small business owner and employer, I have spent decades managing people, meeting payroll, solving real-world problems, and making tough decisions. That experience prepared me to serve effectively in the Florida House, where I delivered results in my very first legislative session. I successfully passed two bills that were signed into law by Governor DeSantis, secured important funding for our community, and earned the trust and endorsement of many of Florida's leading business, public safety, and conservative organizations.

I don't believe in making promises just to win elections—I believe in keeping them. I campaigned on affordability, government efficiency, and common-sense conservative leadership, and my first year in office demonstrates that experience and proven leadership produce real results for the people of Brevard County.

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?

Effective leadership requires delivering tangible milestones. In my first year in the Florida House, I successfully passed two pieces of legislation, proving a freshman representative can cut through gridlock to protect our community. Beyond policy, I brought back vital state funding to secure our infrastructure and safeguard our families. I am proud to have delivered $437,500 for the Indian Harbour Beach Fire Station Annex Project, providing our first responders with the modern facilities needed to improve emergency response times. I also secured $1.6 million for the Rockledge Wastewater Treatment Plant to protect the Indian River Lagoon from harmful pollution. I delivered the real, measurable results our district deserves.Government functions best when managed with the discipline of a small business. As a self-employed business owner who manages people, balances budgets, and navigates daily economic pressures, I bring a firsthand private-sector perspective to Tallahassee. Career politicians do not understand the burden of overregulation, inflation, and soaring insurance costs on hard-working families. I treat tax dollars with the respect they deserve and leverage my professional background to champion real insurance reforms and cut regulatory red tape. My goal is to ensure Florida remains an affordable, thriving place to live and work.Protecting our freedom requires keeping state spending strictly in check and government out of your daily life. As a principled, fiscally conservative Republican, I am dedicated to shrinking government overreach, safeguarding individual liberties, and cutting the red tape that stifles local businesses. I believe your hard-earned money belongs in your pocket, not in a bloated state budget. In Tallahassee, I treat every tax dollar with absolute discipline, fighting against wasteful spending to ensure Florida remains a low-tax sanctuary. I will always stand as a barrier against overregulation and defend the constitutional freedoms of every family in District 32.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about keeping Florida a peaceful, affordable sanctuary where families can thrive. True prosperity requires a government that respects your hard-earned money and stays out of your daily life. I am committed to fighting inflation by reducing government red tape, eliminating wasteful spending, and opening doors of economic opportunity for self-employed individuals and small businesses. Government must be efficient, disciplined, and limited. Above all, I will always stand firm to protect Floridians’ core liberties, defend our shared faith, and safeguard the freedom to raise our families in safety and peace. I will continue delivering the principled leadership District 32 deserves.

I am honored to have earned the endorsement of a trusted coalition of leaders, first responders, and business advocates. My candidacy is backed by Sheriff Wayne Ivey, Congressman Mike Haridopolos, Former Congressmen Bill Posey and Dave Weldon, State Attorney Will Scheiner, Public Defender Blaise Trettis, Clerk Rachel Sadoff, Former Clerk Scott Ellis, and Mayor Tom Price.
