I am a Christian and a Conservative. I joined the Navy after high school and served six years as a Hospital Corpsman. While in the Navy, I met the love of my life Susan. We have been married 24 years and have 2 adult children. I have served as pastor of Freedom Baptist Church in Havelock for eleven years. I serve on the Havelock Board of Commissioners since being elected in 2017. I served on the Board of Directors for the Havelock Pregnancy Resource Center and currently am the vice chairman of the God and Country Christian Alliance. I believe rights come from God not government, and a Representative must defend your freedoms.
  • I believe life begins at conception, all life is sacred, and this first unalienable right must be protected.
  • The Constitution was written to restrict government not the citizen. I will defend your liberties.
  • I will work to restrictive governemt regulations for individuals and businesses.
I am passionate about protecting freedoms and individuals liberties.

I have been active in defending life, and will continue as a legislator.
I believe in Constitutional carry and will fight for second amendment rights.
Government regulations choke businesses and must continue to be removed.

Parents have the right to choose their children's education.
Honesty, integrity, and an understanding of the Constitution are important for an elected official.
One in this office must always remember they are public servant who was elected by the people to represent them. The office is a place of service to the people not self-service
I was a clerk at People's Drug. I worked there for three years before joining the Navy.
Although this applies more to the Federal government than the State government, I believe the Representative is to focus on the will of the people while the Senator focuses more on what is best for the state.
Having experience as a Havelock City Commissioner, I do believe it will benefit me as a state legislator, but I do not believe it is necessary.
I believe continued infrastructure improvements, dealing with future storms, and protecting traditional American values are going to be the greatest challenges.
Both working to serve the people of North Carolina to the best of their ability.
Yes, in fact over the last several years, I have been going to Raleigh with a group of pastors who pray with the legislators. This has allowed me to build relationships with many already in Raleigh. Being a legislator is not just about voting correctly, but also convincing others of your position. This is why relationships are important.
I am open to whatever the Lord leads, but I do not have any plans of running for a different office at this time.
