Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Wyoming native, longtime teacher, coach, and public servant who has spent my life investing in Wyoming kids. Born in Casper and rooted in central Wyoming, I built my career in the classroom, on the field, and in the communities I have proudly served for decades. My wife, Becky, who is also a teacher, and I raised our four children in Wyoming. During my years at Natrona County High School, I became known not only as a coach and teacher, but as someone who believes every student matters and every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed.

I believe Wyoming's schools are the heart of our communities. That commitment carried into my public service in the Wyoming Legislature, where I became a strong advocate for education and opportunity. I was the principal author of the Hathaway Scholarship and later helped advance Wyoming's Tomorrow Scholarship, always focused on expanding opportunities for students and strengthening Wyoming's future workforce.
