Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My wife Judy and I have been married for 46 wonderful years. We live in Verona and raised our six children here, homeschooling them and being active in our church. Over the years we’ve had a great time hunting and fishing, and I really enjoyed serving as the Scoutmaster for my boys’ Boy Scout troop. Now most of my spare time is spent enjoying our 14 grandchildren or reading about current events. I have a BS in computer science and an MS in electrical engineering and spent my career working as a software developer, marketer and IT consultant. I’m also an experienced change maker. That’s what I did in the 90s during my short stint in the General Assembly. I disrupted the way things had always been done, and exposed politicians who said one thing and did another.

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?

Create good-paying jobs and grow the economyEnd the income tax and tackle inflation and the rising cost of livingDefend our 2nd Amendment rights and protect unborn babies

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We must do everything we can to address the rising costs facing families, including gas prices and the inflation being driven by politicians in Washington. The world's need for affordable energy is an opportunity for energy producing states like Kentucky. Not only can we export energy, but we can grow good-paying, stable manufacturing jobs. Frankfort must spend taxpayer dollars wisely while helping to build a stronger economy, create jobs, and improve our state’s infrastructure. The pro-life movement has always been close to my heart, and I will be joining the fight in Frankfort for a pro-life constitutional amendment.

Kentucky’s at a key time in our development and it’s time to get things done. We have so many great opportunities and we need leaders in Frankfort making wise decisions that provide more opportunities for Kentuckians, more jobs with better pay and better benefits, with low taxes and great education and job training so our kids can succeed. I strongly support parental rights and the ability of all families to choose the type of education that is best for their kids.

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

Absolutely. It's important for the people of the 20th District to have a strong, conservative advocate who knows how to be an effective fighter from day one, build coalitions, and navigate the Senate rules. Someone who can use the diverse interests of the district to ensure its influence is properly represented in key pieces of legislation as they are negotiated. I’m an experienced change maker. That’s what I did in the 90s during my short stint in the General Assembly. I disrupted the way things had always been done, and exposed politicians who said one thing and did another.
