  • *Defending our 2nd Amendment rights
  • *Job growth and economic opportunity
  • *Lower taxes, less government control
  • Reason for Seeking Public Office:

    Simply stated, I am running for the Indiana State Representative Seat for Marshall and Northern Fulton County for 2 reasons:

    #1 -- I truly believe every individual has unique and amazing God-given potential. Unfortunately, over time…even with all its "good intentions", an expanding government limits an individual's freedom to pursue their dreams and accomplish their goals. I want to work with other Conservatives to limit the government's detrimental impact on our daily lives.

    #2 -- I have been extremely blessed to have extensive and significant "real life" experiences. I have an extensive and proven record of serving, leading, and positively impacting organizations. I want be a good steward of these experiences and talent to truly make a positive impact for the lives of those living in Marshall and Fulton Counties…as well as the state of Indiana.
