I graduated from Colorado State University with a Political Science degree. I then worked in Washington, D.C. for Congressman Massie, but eventually moved back to Loveland to take a job for the House Republican Leader Patrick Neville as the Communications Director for the Colorado House Republican Caucus. I currently work for the National Association for Gun Rights as their political director.
I am 100% Pro-Life, 100% Pro-Gun, and 100% Pro-Constitution, and I refuse to compromise on those principles.- Consistently Conservative
- Won't Compromise on Principles
- 100% Pro-Life, 100% Pro-Gun, and 100% Pro-Constitution
I am also a fighter for civil liberties, including the right to keep and bear arms, privacy from government spying, and due process, in general.
