Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a pro-life, pro-second amendment, fiscally responsible, patriotic, Hoosier Republican, with Christian, constitutional, and capitalist values and a deep sense of gratitude for what generations before us have left us in this wonderful state of Indiana. As husband to Lauren and father to our five children, I want to ensure that our state continues to be the best place in the nation to worship, work, and raise a family! My rural upbringing of hard work and innovation, combined with over ten years of experience in organizational leadership and public relations in the college setting, have given me a unique set of skills that I am excited to use in Indiana’s Statehouse to protect and enhance the lives of Hoosiers.

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?

I am unapologetically pro-life. Every individual, born or unborn, informed or healthy, young or elderly, has been given the inalienable right to life. I will always fight for life, especially for those who have no voice.I am unapologetically pro-second amendment. The right to keep and bear arms was a right ensured by our forefathers and that provides for recreation and self defense, while also preventing absolute tyranny. I will always fight to maintain our second amendment rights!I am for the traditional family, for the traditional distinction of genders, and for quality education that prepares our children for real-world productivity, rather than being watered down by harmful political ideologies.
