Character Courage Common Sense
I am a lifelong resident of Jefferson City, a graduate of Jefferson City Public Schools, and the son of a tradesman and a state employee. My roots in Jefferson City run deep, and my commitment to this community is personal. For over 25 years, I served as a Firefighter and Fire Captain with the JCFD, a career that taught me the true meaning of readiness and sacrifice. After a physical injury led to my retirement, I continued my mission of service by representing the 3rd Ward on the Jefferson City Council for four years.
Alongside my wife, Tisha—a local business owner of 31 years—and our two daughters, my life is anchored by my Christian faith. We believe in working hard, caring for others, and leaving this world better than we found it.
Tisha and I are members of Memorial Baptist Church where she leads Student Ministry and I lead an adult life group on Sundays and a young adult life group on Wednesday evenings.
We have been active volunteers for the Jefferson City Public Schools with choirs, band, orchestra and I served as an assistant coach for Capital City High School Tennis.
In 2007, we became founding board members of Central Missouri Foster Care and Adoption Center (CMFCAA) and helped to secure and renovate three of their locations. We are passionate about helping the vulnerable and served for 15 years with this organization and worked with some awesome kids and families in monthly respite events, fundraising efforts, food distribution and much more.
From 2020-2022 I served on Cole and Miller County Long Term Recovery Committee for tornado and flood relief victims, first as a board member and then as a construction manager to help manage and facilitate repairs of homes in Jefferson City.
Today, I am ready to serve our city and our state as a full-time Representative. The values that built our country are under attack. From a radical agenda to government overreach, the pressure to surrender our principles is greater than ever. But this campaign isn't fueled by anger—it’s fueled by purpose. I am running for the Missouri House to stand up for what is right.
Conservatism is more than just saying NO to bad policies; it’s about saying YES to a brighter future.
I say YES to protecting the sanctity of life, defending the Second Amendment, and securing our borders. I say YES to parent’s rights in education, election integrity, and a government that respects your hard work. My goal is to work for YOU - I am not influenced by special interests and political insiders.
Guided by my faith and a firefighter’s work ethic, I am ready to bring character, courage, and common sense to the Capitol to defend the values that make Missouri exceptional.
