I am an Upstate native and resident and ready to represent District 35 in the South Carolina House of Representatives. My service to the public began at the early age of 15 where I was a volunteer fireman. Elected in November 2017, my current role in public service is on the Spartanburg School District 4's school board. I live in the small community of Green Pond with my wife, Ashley, and two children, Layla-Grey and CJ. We enjoy serving together as Disaster Relief Ministry Coordinators for our church, Church at the Mill, as well as volunteering at our local area soup kitchen and foster group homes. I am a small business owner and active community member that understands the needs of district 35.
  • One of my goals once elected will be to eliminate wasteful government spending and ensure our tax payers see their dollars at work in their community with infrastructure such as broadband access for all of district 35.
  • I will continue the pro-life fight for the unborn and extend this fight to support foster and adoptive families.
  • I will uphold and defend the rights of all citizens to bear arms and support constitutional carry.
- I am passionate about economic affairs and ensuring our taxpayers see the most efficiency out of their tax dollars.

- As a Christian, I will always fight for the rights of the unborn.

- Finally, my experience as a small business owner will make preparing the next generation for the workforce through educational and vocational reform a priority.
