Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My roots run deep in Boone County, where generations of my family have stood firm in their commitment to faith, hard work, and

service. These values course through my veins, propelling me forward in the pursuit of progress for our community.

While in college, I defended the constitutional rights of every student when confronted with oppressive censorship and ideological

suppression. This would lead me to take on Governor Andy Beshear when he attempted to trample on our rights during the

COVID-19 lockdowns. Defying unjust mandates, I fought to uphold our sacred liberties, emerging victorious in a landmark legal

battle. It was a victory for everyone who cherishes the fundamental rights of worship and assembly.

I continued to seek avenues to make a meaningful impact. This led me to become actively involved with Young Americans for

Liberty (YAL). My tenure with YAL is where I honed my skills as a tireless advocate for freedom. Working alongside champions of

liberty like Rand Paul and Thomas Massie, I learned the true meaning of grassroots activism and the power of unwavering resolve

in the face of adversity.

Immersing myself in these campaigns drove my decision to take an active role in addressing the pressing challenges our nation

faces. As a constitutional lawyer, I've dedicated my career to defending the principles upon which our nation was founded. I've

waged war against tyranny, corruption, and the erosion of our constitutional rights.

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

My first "job" was working on my grandparents' horse racing company, cleaning stalls, walking and feeding our horses, etc. I did that from a young age until the horse racing business ended, even during times when I was on breaks in college.

My first official job, however, was Chipotle in Burlington when I was about 15 years old. I had the job for about a year, then I moved on to another restaurant.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

The governor needs to understand that the legislature, not the administrative state,

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Kentucky needs to redefine the role of government. After 98 years of Democrat rule, far too many Frankfort insiders believe they still need to compromise on our constitution. That is false. We need to limit government to the protection of life, liberty, and property.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Joe Biden. That's it. That's the joke.

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?

The legislature should restrict emergency powers as much as possible. Andy Beshear abused his authority in 2020 and targeted churchgoers on Easter Sunday. I was one of those churchgoers, and I had to sue him in federal court to secure my right to worship. Plainly, the Executive Branch is prone to abusing its authority, so the legislature needs to play a more active role in emergencies.

What is the first bill you would introduce if elected?

Either Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) or Eminent Domain reform/abolition.
