I am a Christian, a husband to a beautiful wife, a father of two busy boys, and an extremely concerned Iowan. I received my J.D. from The University of Iowa College of Law (2019) and my B.A. in Political Science from BYU-Idaho (2015). From 2009-2011 I lived in Mato Grosso, Brazil, and served as a missionary, teaching about Jesus Christ. I obtained my Eagle Scout Award at the age of 16 and managed a restaurant at the age of 18. I pride myself in my hard work and consider all of us extraordinary privileged to live in the greatest country in the history of the world. 
  • PROTECTING THE VULNERABLE - I want to live in an Iowa that protects our most vulnerable (our future generation, including the unborn).
  • COVID INFRINGEMENTS - I want to live in an Iowa that protects my medical freedoms by opposing jab mandates and forced masking.
  • GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND TAXES - I want to live in an Iowa that treats my tax dollars with respect.
Conservatives must take a proactive approach in defending our freedoms, sitting around and playing defense is not sufficient. Abortion has gone on for too long, our rights have been trampled throughout the Covid pandemic, and our tax dollars are being wasted and disrespected.
