Fun Fact
In my free time I am usually spending time with my family. I have two kids in school that play sports so we're busy with that all the time. We like to travel in the summer, this last summer we went to Colorado on a family vacation.
Past Experience
I am an independent carpenter who values hard work, dedication, fiscal responsibility and a strong community that works for all the citizens. I have never held any political offices but stay informed on many issues, the two main issues are taxes and spending of all levels of government. It is getting harder and harder for people to have the American dream, owning a home, buying a car and staying out of debt so someday they can retire comfortably. I think we need to bring spending down and cut taxes in our community so people can achieve those goals.
My Top Issues
Supporting entrepreneurship and small businesses
The middle class needs to be the backbone of our economy, entrepreneurship and small businesses are the key to that.
Enhancing transparency and accountability
The key to small, strong and efficient executive branch implementation is an open and accountable government.
Reduce cost of living
It's time to bring taxes and spending down to normal levels so people can build wealth and eventually retire with dignity.
