Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a street cop, veteran , a family man, I have sworn an oath to protect my fellow Americans against all of the known and unknown dangers in this world. I have always run towards the sound of gunfire, when others are running away. I walk among the people of Southwest Florida day in and day out. I am connected to them at their level. I truly see the struggles along with their highs. This is what makes me a true representative of the people. Public service has been my life story.

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 will stand with president Trump, and I'll seek justice for him
• Second Amendment, I'll fight every step of the way to protect your rights
• Limited Government, less Government means individuals enjoy more freedoms.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I believe in limited government. I believe our Second Amendment right should never be infringed. I believe life begins at conception. I believe in strong border security, and keeping Americans safe. I support the everyday American who wants their voice heard and their issues resolved.
