Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a native to Branson who love his community. I am an eagle scout who is devoted to the conservation of our lakes and forest. I am a father of three daughters and have been married to my wife for almost 15 years. I have worked in the service industry most of my life and I want to make Missouri a place where people are proud to say they live. My goals in live is to live it to the fullest and make my family proud of who I am as a person. I see Missouri as having a bright future, but we are at a critical time to make that happen. I want to make the people of my district feel like their vote matters and that they have a say in what happens in. Jefferson City! When Missouri Speaks-Trent Listens!

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?

I want to put public money back into public education. We are critically under funding our public education. Missouri ranks 49th in teacher pay and 49th in education funding. I want to put that finding back where it belongs. We need to raise teacher pay to the national average which in turn will make quality teachers want to come and teach here and will retain our educators in this state. I also want to introduce universal breakfast and lunch for all students. Our children are the future of this great state. You cannot learn on an empty stomach. A lot of the students here only get food from the school and they should not be punished for not being able to afford the school lunches.The housing market is out of control. I want to help make the American dream a reality. We have large corporations buying up property in droves and effectively controlling the housing markets. We need to put a cap on that and put it back on the hands of everyday Missourians. We need to provide funding to build more houses to create a surplus of homes for people to buy. When the supply is high, it will bring the prices lower. To many people are stuck in rental homes/apartments where their money goes to the land lord. But having a home that when they pay, it goes towards their very own home that they own!We have beautiful lakes and wooded areas in my district. Unfortunately, due to low regulations from neighboring states, their toxic waste is being drained into our watershed and making the lakes a toxic playground. For instance, Rockaway Beach has massive amounts of E Coli preventing people from swimming in its waters. Our water treatment plants have to work overtime to filter out all of those diseases out of the water. We need to put a stop to that right now so our waterways can be clear and safe. Taneycomo lake is full of algae and other invasive plants due to the chemicals coming from Arkansas. I want clean waters and our forest to be protected so we can have our native animals survive without worry of getting sick.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Our education system needs to be worked on hard core. I want our educators to be paid fairly and our students to have full stomachs. Our children are our future! I'm also passionate about ensuring the safety of these children as well. We have far to many issues of trafficking in our area. I want to work with local law enforcement to crack down on these cases and provide the necessary tools to bring these people to justice and protect our most valued assets, that being our children!
