I'm currently running for State Representative for Adair, Cumberland, Metcalfe and Monroe. I was born and raised in Metcalfe County. Graduated from Metcalfe High in 2007. Attended Bowling Green Technical College and received Associate of Applied Science in 2010. I’ve worked in the Telecommunications field for 15 years and currently working as an Engineer. After graduating from BGTC in May of 2010, I was asked to come back and teach for them. In August of 2010 I started as an Adjunct CIT Instructor for them and have been teaching for them the past 12 years. I’m a husband and father of three kids (2 boys and a girl). I’m a Christian and active in my church which includes teaching the adult Sunday school class every 3rd week. I’m a volunteer in the community and have been actively involved for 15 years or more. I’ve helped at the Plaza Theatre in Glasgow, helped in food drives, kids backpack program, helped donate to Metcalfe Library, school supplies and so much more. I’m passionate about helping people. I’m pro family, pro community, pro life and pro 2a. My 4 goals in Frankfort are: agriculture, education, healthcare and infrastructure.
- I'm dedicated and devoted to our communities and improving them for our future. I've been an Adjunct CIT Instructor for the past twelve years and in that time I have educated over seven hundred students, two hundred and twenty two credit hours, and over five thousand hours of classroom lecture time. I was awarded by Cisco Networking Academy as an Advance Level Instructor (Top 25% of Instructors Globally) in 2013 and 2015 and in 2018, I was awarded Expert Level Instructor (Top 10% of Instructors Globally).
- As your Representative, I would seek to ensure that your thoughts and ideas are the foundation for drafting, authoring, co-authoring, and voting to pass Bills. As your Representative, I would seek to ensure that our Schools can get the funding, tools and equipment required to provide our students with the best education possible.
- As your Representative, I would seek to fight for your rights. As the Americans’ Declaration of Independence states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
I have four main goals in Frankfort: Agricultural, Education, Healthcare and Infrastructure.
Agricultural: Did you know that just over half of Kentucky's land is considered farmland 14.9 million acres.
Education: In a study that was published in 2021 by Education Week, Kentucky finishes 29th overall when it comes to education and two points behind the national average. We need to ensure that we are giving our students every chance that we can so that they can excel. We need to aid our educators and make sure that they know we care about them and give them the tools they need to positively impact the classroom.
Healthcare: Kentucky is ranked 12th in the cost of healthcare, 14th in the access to healthcare and 30th overall in a recent study. That same study shows that Kentucky ranks one of the highest states when is comes to cancer rate and heart disease rate.
There are so many influential people who have shaped my life. If I had to list some they would be: Jesus, my Father, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Sandra Day O'Connor, and Ronald Reagan. Let's start with Jesus, the most influential example of all time. Jesus taught us to always serve one another, to love one another, although we might not always agree. He led by example, as should all leaders. My Father, who taught me so many life lessons and too many to list. Thomas Jefferson, the man behind some of the most inspiring documents in American history. Abraham Lincoln, a man who gave his life to reunite this country in one of its darkest hours. One of my favorite quotes come from him, "Be sure you put your feet in the fight place, and stand firm!" Sandra Day O'Connor, who blazed into history as the first woman to serve in the Supreme Court. A woman who fought for rights and stood by her convictions. Lastly, Ronald Reagan, a man who stood toe to toe with the iron curtain and help bring change and the removal of the Berlin Wall. A man who stood firm for American and our values. As Reagan said "There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know if morally right!"
Abraham Lincolns, "Gettysburg Address" and Ronald Reagan's 1964 speech, "A Time for Choosing."
Honesty, hard working, passionate, and dedicated.
ne of the most rewarding jobs, outside of being a father, is being a college educator. I have the privilege of helping students elevate to a higher education, bettering themselves, their families and those around them. In my past twelve years, as an educator, I have been awarded in 2013 and 2015, top 25% of instructors globally, and in 2018 top 10% globally by the Cisco Networking Academy.
I want to serve you, the people of Kentucky, with the same energy . I want to be your liaison and ensure that your thoughts and ideas are my thoughts and ideas. I will battle for you in Frankfort and make sure that your best interest are always in my forethought.
I want to leave this Commonwealth in a better place for future generations.
I was in middle school gym class, playing flag football when 9-11 happen. Being in middle school I didn't fully understand what was happening but you could see the emotions on the teachers faces. I remember watching the news in the weeks that followed so that we could understand more and more as the story unfolded. That event changed my view of the world, opened my eyes to world events and how evil actions can destroy lives, but also unit them. I remember seeing how the USA banded together, and for a short time, we were united.
I grew up working on the farm and we grew tobacco and raised a large garden. At an early age, I learned the value of hard work and long hours. Looking back on that time, I didn't fully understand the life lessons that were taking place but now I can see the positive influences that it made on my life. When there is work to be done, roll up your shirt sleeves and get to work, power through and walk away knowing that you made a difference.
Bible. All of mans problems, the answers are contained within.
Indiana Jones, I love history, historic items and adventure.
Garth Brooks, "The River."
Being young and trying to get started in society be difficult. After graduating Bowing Green Technical College, having school debt, having an entry job, and trying to pay house payment, utilities and all bills associated with it was difficult.
I grew up playing sports and to that I will use an analogy. When playing a sport, is it important that we all get the same call, run the same plan for it to be successful? Teamwork is always needed, not always easy, but always required.
Kentucky has a number of issues that trouble us all but to sit down and make a list, we cannot arcuately do so. What is my greatest challenge may not be in someone else's eyes. What is important, as issue arise, we work together and do what's best for all Kentuckians.
It would require that all legislatures work together on more of a daily bases. All would have the same leverage and value. Although in separated houses, we have more of a checks and balances to the legislature. We are elected in different cycles, and in itself brings about balance. It's important that we continue to unify our Commonwealth regardless of single or separate houses.
No. We need individuals from all walks of life and different life experiences. That allows us to legislate in the way that is effective for our Commonwealth.
Yes, you must build and maintain those relationships to an effective legislator. You have to be able to gain legislators favor to get items passed and this can only be done by rapport.
I think it important that decisions are made and voted upon and redistricting falls into this category also.
Agriculture, Education, Healthcare, Small Business and Information Technology, Economic Development & Workplace Investment.
I want to be where I can help, and effect change.
"I didn't like facial hair, but then it grew on me."
Short answer yes, we have to deliberate and come to an agreement. When your moral convictions hold you to and idea, there is no room for movement or compromise. Anytime you look at a situation one sided, you are only getting half of the story. We must work together and get answers to todays problems for all Kentuckians. Stand tall for your morals and compromise on the items that you can.
