Christian, husband, father, small business owner, podcast host, and community leader!
  • The power of government belongs to We The People!
  • Fighting for small business development and opportunity, workforce development, limited government, and protecting individual and property rights.
  • Government closer to the people is the best. I support a limited locally controlled government, and that includes our K-12 schools.
Economic Development and Opportunity, Workforce Development, Limiting Government Regulation, Taxation, and Protecting Individual Liberty and Property Rights
Obviously Jesus! Also, I have several mentors; one man that I worked for and still take a lot of advice from. Also, one of my former pastors, I still look up to.
An elected official needs to understand that he or she represents the people. Elected officials need to have a strong moral code, and must be held to a higher standard than expected of most citizens.
Again, representing the needs of the people, and protecting the God given, Constitutional rights of those people.
Personally, I want to build a strong family that stays close for generations to come. I want to build a family business that my kids and grandkids want to run and grow for decades. In public service, I want to build an economic and policy structure that lifts up and protects all families and businesses. I want to build a strong rural community that my kids and grandkids can thrive in for generations after me!
The one that sticks out was the bringing down of the Berlin wall, I remember watching Reagan on TV when I was 4 or 5 years old. The next major event I remember was Desert Storm, my uncle was there and I remember watching the invasion on TV.
First job: Washing Towels for my mother's salon!
First career related job out of college: Petroleum Engine Sales Rep for a local Caterpillar dealer.
Of course, the Bible! I read a lot, so I have several. I'm a big biography guy. The biography of Sam Walton, I'm a big fam of his. Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson. Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willick is a great one.
LOL Batman!
Coming from divorced parents.
Ideally, these are equal branches of government. The governor must be limited to executing the laws and regulations set forth by the legislator. The governor should be very limited in the "executive orders" that he or she gives outside those laws/rules created by the legislative body.
Protecting citizens individual rights, data, tax burden, and economic prosperity. We must get creative in protecting our rural communities, so that they can prosper.
It's important to understand the roles of government, but not necessary to be an effective legislator. I do think there is value in a legislator having leadership and entrepreneurial experiences.
Of course, a single legislator cannot get a bill past. Each legislator must work with the entire governing body to get bills/laws through the process. Each legislator must understand and respect that each house or senate district is different and the needs of the citizens in those districts may differ.
Yes, I believe my current house rep has set a great example of how a legislator represents his/her district, and manages the legislative process.
No plans to seek any other office.
Of course, this is the reason I started a podcast. I am a small business guy, so the stories of how entrepreneurs built their businesses always fascinates me. I love to hear stories of strong businesses, whose owners balance faith, family, and business life.
The power to create policy should reside with the legislative body. There should be very limited occasions when emergency powers are given to other branches or agencies. However, yes, in times of natural disaster or attack, certain emergency powers may need to be granted to the executive branch.
I would like to speed up the path to a zero percent state income tax, so I think that would be one of my first priorities. I also believe that our K-12 schools should have more control over their funding, curriculum, and policies, so that would also be one of my immediate goals.
If you are referring to State Question 832; Open Primaries (California Jungle Primary). Yes I am deeply OPPOSED!!!!! Decline to sign this petition, and vote NO if this gets on the November ballot.
Becoming a father!!!!
I believe our current election system is very safe and secure as I understand it. I would need to study the process further before making any changes at this time.
