As a third-generation active-duty retired Air Force veteran, I personally served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan combat operations. As a military professional, I traveled the world and spent time in 92 countries. In 2010, I graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a B.S. in Professional Aeronautics, 2018 I graduated from the Citadel Military College with a Master of Science degree in Leadership, and currently 9 credit hours from completing a Doctorate of Education degree in Leadership at Charleston Southern University.
During my down time I spend time with my wife of 26 years, our son, and our daughter. I also enjoy time at my farm caring for and training my younger horses.- Taxation
South Carolina has the highest tax burden in the Southeast based on tax ratios. Every year additional tax laws pass through the Supermajority REPUBLICAN legislature (counter to the Republican platform) by way of gas, convenience, usage, property, and vehicle registration taxes. In some instances, we get taxed multiple times on certain items such as road taxes generated by several different tax streams. Over the last few years, the State had excess tax revenue, this year residents will receive a small refund and a .5% income tax rate decrease.
I have a bold plan to eliminate the State Income Tax IMMEDIATELY. - Managed Development Within District and County Development within Dorchester County is thriving to a point where we now see horrible traffic and severe flooding on our major roadways. Calculated managed growth is required to properly build supporting infrastructure to accommodate the population growth within our district through legislation. The way ahead is to pass legislation including the following; ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES ie. roads, water, sewer, storm water system are available to serve new growth and development. To be completed before housing permits issued. DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES based on structures being built and paid for before build permit is issued. ADOPT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN on a 5-year cycle
- Education For years the government has been encroaching and manipulating our education system, by masking our history, traditions, and values. There has been a drastic departure from traditional academic curriculum and that needs to stop now. This new divisive curriculum embodies hatred, based on one’s race, gender, or sex with attempts to displace our religious beliefs and freedom as a whole. I hold a deep-rooted belief that the parent holds the responsibility to teach their children under the age of 18 about all of the dangers in society and set the moral and ethical groundwork. I support legislation that; Eliminates ideological and indoctrination in all schools Elevates South Carolina school system above 43rd school system Notionally
