Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a husband, father, pastor and resident of Van Buren. I'm also a small business owner, a development officer at my kids’ school and a pregnancy center board member. I spent 8 years as a Pastor at Butterfield Church in Van Buren and currently serve as the Associate Pastor at Evangel Temple. I am running as a conservative Republican for the Arkansas House of Representatives District 48 seat. I want to be your leader in the fight for Arkansas Family Values. This includes working towards less and lower taxes, protecting the lives of the unborn, standing up for law enforcement, securing your 2nd Amendment rights, and ensuring that your children, regardless of your family's zip-code, have access to a world class education. I will work hard to make Van Buren and the River Valley the best possible place to live, work, and raise a family.

My wife Tiffany and I are both honor graduates of the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, where I also taught as an Adjunct Professor and Technical Advisor of Communications in 2016 and 2017. I completed my ministerial training through Global University’s BSB program. I am an ordained minister with the General Council of the Assemblies of God. Tiffany and I have three beautiful children, Kaden, Addison and Juliana.

As your State Representative I will always be available to discuss the issues that matter to you. Please feel free to call or text me any time at (479) 285-6383.

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?

The lives of the unborn are truly priceless and as your State Rep, I will always vote pro-life. Serving as a board member with a local pregnancy center, I’ve helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars dedicated to helping women and families through crisis pregnancies. Pro-life legislation will be huge moving forward. We are watching history unfold before our eyes and the strategy your government takes will set a precedent for years to come. You need a representative who doesn’t just “say” they are pro-life. You need someone who IS pro-life! As your State Representative I will protect your Religious Liberties!Its time to implement more competitive tax rates, create more jobs and scale back job-killing regulations. We can make it easier and simpler to start a business, not harder and more complicated. Small businesses are the backbone of Arkansas, almost 50% of the Arkansas labor force is employed by small businesses. As a business owner myself, I understand how important it is to confront these issues. I am for lowering your income tax, I will work towards lowering sales tax on used automobiles and I am for less taxes across the board. As your State Representative, I will not standby as Arkansas collects a nearly $1 Billion tax surplus as it did last year.Education may be the most pressing issue facing Arkansas this coming election. I have seen it first hand as I’ve worked in my kids’ school as a teacher and development officer since 2016. Every child regardless of their family’s zip code deserves access to a world class education. You need a representative who will work to give parents and kids the choices they deserve and will hold our schools to a high standard of accountability. Your government doesn’t know what’s best for your family, you do. Additionally, Critical Race Theory has no place in our schools, and you need a representative who will fight back against the radical left’s attempts to indoctrinate our children.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I want to work towards ending abortion in Arkansas and defending religious liberties.

Educating our future generations is such a high priority and one that I'm passionate about as a father of 3 school aged children. Over 50% of the state budget is dedicated to Education, we need to continue to improve our education system in Arkansas.

In addition to defending small businesses, I am for lowering your income tax, I will work towards lowering sales tax on used automobiles and I am for less taxes across the board. As your State Representative, I will not standby as Arkansas collects a nearly $1 Billion tax surplus as it did last year.

As a small business owner, I’m acutely aware that we don’t need more taxes on hardworking Arkansans, we need less. With your support, we can make Van Buren and the River Valley a better place to live, work and raise a family.
