As an accountant and volunteer tutor for second-graders, I am working to restore fiscal responsibility to our state legislature so all students receive a great education, everyone has access to quality, affordable healthcare and we make smart infrastructure investments - all of which will help grow our economy and create good-paying jobs. I am the son of an Air Force Captain and Nursing Teacher, who was raised in Arizona and taught to treat people with respect and contribute to our community. Recently I retired from a successful career in business as an accountant, tax auditor, controller, and software architect where I help grow a local company into an international firm.
  • Education - Strengthen education by properly funding our schools, respecting teachers, and demanding transparency on how taxpayer money is spent.
  • Healthcare - Improve our healthcare system by expanding access to quality, affordable care and protecting people with preexisting conditions.
  • Economy - Grow our economy and create good-paying jobs by investing in infrastructure, encouraging innovation, promoting renewable energy, and supporting working families.
Restoring fiscal responsibility and integrity to our state legislature.
