Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a small town attorney.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I want to bring common sense to the office.
• I am an outsider and will fight against corruption.
• I would promote the oil & gas industry while holding companies accountable for their legacy wells.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Transparency.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

While it was not the first historical event that occurred in my life, 9/11 occurred right after high school. I remember the feeling of astonishment that an enemy attacked us on our soil.

I am a problem solver who is trained to use logic to find practical solutions.
