Expand all | Collapse all

John is a proud patriot who grew up in Saint Louis County where he attended Eureka Senior High School before earning his journalism degree at the University of Missouri - Columbia, and then law degree at Saint Louis University School of Law. He currently resides in Maryland Heights and is employed as an attorney where he pursues his passion for fighting for the people.
  • John is a firm believer in protecting conservative values as he is pro-life, pro-gun, and pro-military. He believes Missourians desire the freedoms to live, work, and worship without government interference and overreach. Unfortunately, since the pandemic we have seen that not all of our local, state, or federal leaders share these values as we saw schools, churches, and businesses shut down along with mask mandates and vaccine requirements forced on our innocent children and community.
  • John is proud of his Christian values which have taught him the differences between tolerance, acceptance, and conformity. He will fight to protect the unborn as well as the rights of worshippers of all faiths to freely assemble without government interference.
  • John is pro-American and believes in your 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. He believes in protecting America’s borders from invasion as well as the prohibition of selling Missouri’s land to China. He will support Missouri’s efforts to secure the border when the federal government fails in its obligation. John will also fight to keep Marxism and other woke ideologies including DEI & CRT out of Missouri schools.
John is especially passionate about reducing taxes and balancing the budget; empowering parents with school choice; supporting first responders and veterans; protecting your constitutional rights; cracking down on crime; prohibiting the sale of land to China; securing the border; and freezing property taxes.
Elected officials should be approachable and accessible; fair-minded; and critical thinkers. It makes no sense to have an elected official who is out of touch or out of reach. They should operate with a sense of fairness as it relates to their constituents rather than serving their own interests, and they should do so while keeping an open mind while thoughtfully considering the opinions of the voters and the consequences of each action.
The core responsibility for someone elected to this position is to act according to the will of the people who are being represented.
I remember Desert Storm as one of the more significant historical events that occurred in my lifetime as I was around eight years old at that time and yellow ribbons were everywhere.
