Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As a husband, father of four, and a former business owner and manager, I know how important governmental decisions affect families and businesses. I bring my private sector background and family values to the legislature to work towards a safe and affordable state where we can live freely and prosper. My 30 years of business experience allow me to differentiate between needs and wants and what priorities need to be addressed immediately. I have spent thousands of hours volunteering through our church and several other charitable causes. I have served on over a dozen board of directors for varying organizations. I am not afraid of hard work and strive to make life better every day for North Dakotans and the people in District 47.
