Expand all | Collapse all

I'm 37 years old, have been married for 13 years and live with my wife, my three children (ages 11, 9, and 2), two of whom are special needs, my sister (unofficially adopted), and my nephew. In college, I majored in physics, but my true passions are mathematics and economics. I had to step away from work a couple of months ago due to health concerns, but the majority of my work experience is in manufacturing and quality control. My wife is a teacher and while my eldest child goes to public school, my daughter is homeschooled. I attend Elizabeth Lee Methodist Church in Chickamauga. Several members of my family are career military veterans, including my father, who was an Airborne MP in the United States Army. I am running for Congress not out of a desire to hold the position, but out of a sense of duty to serve the people of this district, who welcomed me into their community 12 years ago and helped me make it the only home I'll ever want.
  • Affordability has become a massive issue due to a combination of factors including massive inflation causing devaluation of our currency, unnecessary and inconsistent tariffs hurting our businesses and making them unable to plan for future expenses, and excessive regulation making it more difficult and expensive to produce the goods we need and transport them to us. I will work to remove these problems and make our dollars go further again.
  • Most legislation passing through Congress has been in the form of massive "omnibus" style bills that no one bothers to read until well after they are passed. No legislator should EVER vote in the affirmative on any bill without having read it in full. I read over 50 books per year, on average. I can read a bill. If something comes across my desk and I cannot read it in time before voting on it, I will vote no. I refuse to sign a contract on behalf of my constituents without reading it. I also promise to be as transparent as possible, publicly stating my understanding of each bill, what I plan to vote on it, and why, giving my constituents a chance to contact me and weigh in on those choices.
  • The national debt is out of control. Right now, just the interest that we pay on the debt annually has exceeded our defense budget. The debt itself has exceeded $38.6 trillion. That amount of money in dollar bills would weigh almost six and a half times as much as the Great Pyramid of Khufu. We NEED to get this under control, and the first step is to balance our budget. It won't be easy, but my background is in mathematics and, if I can balance a fourth order differential equation, I think I can balance a budget. That being said, no one can do this alone and it will require nonpartisan single issue coalitions, which my position as a third party candidate makes me uniquely suited to make.
I care deeply about the economy and wish to see minimal government interference in it, but I also want to see personal freedom in more than just economic matters. I am a First Amendment purist and believe that ALL forms of nonviolent expression should be protected, especially the disagreeable and reprehensible ones, as uncontroversial speech is never in danger of being censored. I am appalled by the excesses of government in overstepping our Constitution and wish to constrain it again to the best of my ability, I believe that victimless crimes should be repealed and that people should have control over their own bodies, and I believe in school choice and want to see parents have more control over their children's schooling.
I have been endorsed by the Libertarian Party of Georgia, the Libertarian Party of Floyd County, and former presidential candidate Chase Oliver.
