Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I grew up here in a low-income, blue-collar household. I served 9 years in the Marine Corps, deploying to Al Anbar province in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I split the 6 years following my active duty service as a defense contractor and a federal employee for the Marine Corps and Defense Counterintelligence Service. I have served my country and my community my entire adult life and am asking for the opportunity to continue to serve you in a different capacity.

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?

• Increase efficiency and eliminate wasteful spending.
• Never increase taxes and reduce them when possible.
• Keep the government OUT of your life and business

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Easing and eliminating government restrictions and regulations that only serve to keep low-income families in poverty.
Limiting the power of government, and holding all levels of government accountable to the people.

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

Watching 9/11 occur in real-time. I was 13.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I got started early, helping family with construction jobs, picking aluminum cans off the roadside, and cutting grass to help pay the bills. I did 12-hour days at the Alabama Farmer’s Market, 7 days a week in the summers in high school, “chucking” watermelons and cantaloupe, sorting tomatoes, and helping out wherever else I could to make the change add up. I finished off relatively easy during my senior year, washing dishes out of Uncle Mon’s restaurant in Graysville.
