Expand all | Collapse all

I am many things. I am a father who is concerned about the state of our society my children are growing up in. I am a husband who wants to ensure the financial future I am building with my wife is sustainable in our economic outlook. I am a US Navy veteran that is concerned about the quality of care our veterans receive. Finally, I am a native born South Carolinian that feels that I can better represent the totality of the voices of the citizens of SC District 69 than an individual that is beholden to the whims and will of the political machine of the two major political parties. Their partisanship has collectively damaged what it means to be indivisible and united.
  • Lowering the barriers for the average citizen to enter the economic market.
  • Holding the State Government accountable for the misappropriation of tax payer funds.
  • Defending the rights of the individual and liberty for ALL. Currently, the citizens of SC House District 69 are being under represented at the State level. I am to fix this be truly representing all, regardless of Part affiliation.
1) Securing the economic future for South Carolina

2) Ending the practices of Corporatism within the State
3) Enacting real criminal justice reform within the state

4) Providing an accurate representation for the whole of the constituency of the District.
The Unincorporated Man would be a book that would most accurately describe my political philosophy.
An elected official should be honest, transparent, trustworthy, and courageous.
I am passionate and have a positive outlook for working towards a better future.
The primary responsibility of an elected official is to actively and accurately represent the people they were elected to represent. An elected official is there to reign in the government to prevent it from becoming too overbearing into the rights of the individual citizen.
I would like to direct the state government back towards respecting the rights of the individual.
I took the trash out at William Bryce Stadium during the USC home football games. I did this job for two seasons.
The governor should be a respector of the State Legislature to be the voice of the people of the State. The governor should not interfere in the working of the Legislature on a day to day basis.
1) Financial stability due to ineffective national leadership from the two major political parties.

2) Social stability due to the designed polarization of society caused by the partisanship of the two major political parties.

2) The further infringement of personal liberties by both the national and state government.
I believe that sometimes a fresh set of eyes is beneficial to a stagnant system. A broken system can not be repaired by attempting the same failed actions repeatedly.
I believe that the only way to truly improve our future economic and social stability is to learn to work with those of differing backgrounds.
Not at this point.
Financial transparency of the government should be complete. The public officers that misuse public funds should be held accountable within the full extent of the law.
