In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’ve traveled the world fighting for my country with a simple fundamental belief based on good vs. evil. The horrors I’ve witnessed are the stark reality of what we face today as a society. These injustices are no longer what we only see in far-off places. They are taking place every day in our country and have become the “new norm.” I’ve dedicated the last twenty-three years serving folks around the world as an outsider, fighting for folks I have never met before. I treat those I am tasked with defending, helping, or supporting as if they are part of my family. No line on a politically drawn map will change this. I want to continue that commitment by fighting for the people of South Carolina (SC-7) as a member of Congress. Our political system is no longer what our founding fathers intended, and this can only be fixed at the hands of people willing to fight the good fight. A duty that will require courage, strength of character, and the fortitude to take a stand against the broken establishment.

Desert Storm. I was 10

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Cutting grass and shoveling snow. I started working when I was 10 or 11, and did so all the way up until I joined the Marines.
