In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm running for the Tennessee House because District 65 deserves a representative who shows up, listens, and works for the people — not the party. For more than twenty years, I've lived, worked, raised a family, and served this community. My life has been shaped by service: as a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, a retired Air Force Reserve officer, a Boys & Girls Club board member, and a multiple small business owner.

I believe strong communities are built on strong foundations — great schools, safe neighborhoods, responsible growth, and leaders who put people first. As a father in a blended family, I understand how much families depend on stable schools, reliable infrastructure, and a local economy that supports opportunity for everyone. As a business owner, I know firsthand the challenges small businesses face and how much they contribute to the character and strength of Williamson County.
