Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Christian, Spouse, Father, Grandfather, Soldier, lifelong public servant, and a proud Wyoming Conservative. I spent 36 years in the Army, deploying to Kuwait in 2004. My last 8 years in uniform were spent as the Commanding General of the Wyoming Military Department, followed immediately by 4 years leading another group of dedicated individuals at WYDOT. Whether serving my country, maintaining our transportation system, or raising a family with my wife Devonna, I've always believed leadership means putting people first, solving problems, and standing by your principles. I will be honest and transparent, listen and think before speaking, put in the work, and ride for the brand while always treating others with dignity and respect.

I am running as a Conservative, Non-Caucus, Common Sense, Coalition-building Republican, because that is who I am and what I believe we require. We should be able to sit down with people we may not agree with and find a way to get to yes. I want to solve problems and move this state ahead.
