A little about me. I am the legacy of Jay County farmers who settled here in the mid 1800's. My dad was a farm kid who became a teacher and public servant. My mother is a German immigrant, daughter of a coal miner and blacksmith, she was a librarian by profession. I am a husband to Codi, father to 6, and grandfather to 5 (so far).


I have a B.S. from Ball State in Political Science with a minor History. I have a law degree from Indiana School of Law-Indianapolis (Mckinney). Admitted in Indiana bar #23347-38. I have been an Assistant Manager for Walmart, store Manager for Revco, and real estate closer for Old Republic National Title. I have also been an attorney in the position of Vice President for Kings Title and Abstract. I have owned my own title company. Mostly, I have been a lawyer in practice since 2002 and practiced all over District 33.
  • Fair property taxes for all based on market value to better fund our cities, towns and schools. Some special interest groups have our taxes shifted to homeowners and every other business.
  • Every law need to be read as to it's effect on the family. We need to be working on making sure all people including our young people attain home ownership.
  • Revamp Indiana schools to provide the students more choices.
Families and a return to fairness, root out special interests, support our town and cities and a return to federalism.
Job in the bible. You could not shake his faith.
Conscience of a Conservative by Barry Goldwater.
The Book of Job and Proverbs in the Bible.
Knowing when not to propose a law. "Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." William Pitt the Younger.
Honesty when it hurts to everyone. Talking to everyone that you represent. Even when they are hostile.
A return to normal discourse.
Picking rocks out of a field and bailing straw for the farmer next door. Probably did that from 13 to 17 years of age.
Bible. Really all you need. Sarum was good.
Anything from Chevelle or Breaking Benjamin. Old school would be anything by 38 Special.
Figuring out if I am living up to my potential.
The real question is the relationship between the governor, the administrative, and the people. We have that other branch. For the most part people need left alone as much as possible from the powers that be in Indianapolis. The governor had to much power during covid.
Strengthening families, housing for young families, and making sure the American Dream continues.
Sure, you should be able to discuss with people from different backgrounds, and the other sided of the isle to produce the best policy.
I am not sure about modeling myself but when my dad had issues he could always call on former Rep. Ron Liggett (D). My dad being a republican made no difference to Ron. He helped my dad every way he could.
In general we have had many discussions during covid. Many issues seem to have been forbidden to discuss. Things that are just now being discussed. That did not bode well for public confidence.
I actually enjoy a good lawyer joke. The truth usually makes the best jokes.
Market Value for all property tax valuations, or at least all land being valued like farm ground no matter its use. Closely followed by funding relief to cities and town.
My wife and family. The liars table at McDonalds.
Commerce and Tech, Corrections and Criminal Law, Local Government, Family and Children Services, Health, Education.
We need to penalize politicians at the ballot box who legislate for special interests at the expense of all those they represent.
