| Collapse all
I started my career and spent 18 years in the banking and finance world managing hundreds of employees and servicing hundreds of local business owners. The last decade, I left banking and went to work for a non-profit organization, Convention of States, where I traveled the country advocating for Term Limits on Congress, and further limits on the size, power, and jurisdiction of the federal government. In this work, I have become an expert in crafting and passing legislation, having passed legislation in six different state legislatures. I have worked with thousands of grassroots leaders across the country and met thousands of state legislators educating them each on the use of Article V and their responsibility in the US Constitution. I am a native Kansan, my wife and I have six children combined that are all adults with three of them working in Kansas public schools. We have one grandchild with another on the way.
I am a small business owner in Milford, KS providing independent insurance inspections across the area contracting with most of the local insurance carriers.- I will stand for you, and for what is right. I have a track record of standing up what is right in spite of enormous pressure go along with what is easy.
- I understand the proper place for the government, and I a constitutionalist. Government exists to protect the rights of the individuals that have granted the government power. Less government, lower regulation, and more self-governance is where I believe we need to be.
- We need to deliver real property tax relief to Kansans without sacrificing the ability of our rural communities to compete for employers and families looking to escape to a life which better suits their values.
