Biography
“I am a rancher in Athens, AL and a school teacher in Huntsville, AL. I grew up on a small farm in Collinwood, TN and was the first male in my family to attend college and graduate with a degree. I have taught Science 15 years at the Academy for Science & Foreign Language and I have owned Grassland Ranch for 11 years. I serve on many committees at my school, and I am a member of many barrel horse and rodeo associations. I am a professional horse trainer and teacher/mentor to kids learning how to ride horses. I have taught and carried students to rodeos all over the southeast and Texas. I have also served as director of the National Barrel Horse Association over Alabama's northern 13 counties. I have received many awards for citizenship and teaching. I entered this race because I am concerned for kids futures to know true American History without bias, to understand the constitution, and to reunite this country. We must remember the preamble to the constitution and elect officials that will uphold it first and foremost. I am a conservative Republican patriot who wants to take power back from Government and give it to the people.”[1]

I have taught Science 15 years at the Academy for Science & Foreign Language and I have owned Grassland Ranch for 11 years.
I serve on many committees at my school, and I am a member of many barrel horse and rodeo associations. I am a professional horse trainer and teacher/mentor to kids learning how to ride horses. I have taught and carried students to rodeos all over the southeast and Texas. I have also served as director of the National Barrel Horse Association over Alabama's northern 13 counties.

I entered this race because I am concerned for kids futures to know true American History without bias, to understand the constitution, and to reunite this country. We must remember the preamble to the constitution and elect officials that will uphold it first and foremost.
I am a conservative Republican patriot who wants to take power back from Government and give it to the people.- I grew up on Christian principles and the ideas that a hand shake and your word are the most important identifying characteristics to who you are as a person.
- America needs term limits to eliminate career politicians and to return power from Washington elites to the citizens
- My heart has enough room for everyone. I welcome diversity and demand transparency. America is united when we stand true to the constitution and approach legislation with common sense principles.
I am concerned that big tech and mainstream media along with the two major parties of the political system are dividing Americans for political power and entertainment ratings.
A great representative remembers that the role of government is to provide peace, safety, and unity for and between the people. The role of government is not to over regulate causing our national debt to increase and inflation to rise.
Pontoon by Little Big Town, because I love being on the water!
