My wife, Destiny, and I have seven children and live in McCloud, CA. We have lived and worked all over the world raising up young leaders in various aspects of society and working with current leaders of business, education, churches and more about how to strengthen culture and empower people. I love to see others flourish in their purpose and family.
  • It's time to serve and empower people before politics again.
  • America should not be a top-down power structure, but built from the bottom up as a family-structure.
  • We have to go beyond the issues and begin to heal the culture of America.
Our primary focus is how to create and implement a socioeconomic empowerment initiative that stimulates our free market to serve and empower all people. It should not be all about taxes or dividing wealth, but creating a culture where everyone has something to give and we empower one another to flourish.

We want to give freedom back to families who have been heavily restricted by recent and limiting legislation.

We want to see term limits on congress and senate so it is not just an office of power, but of service for the people.
One of my personal heroes is William Wilberforce. He raised his voice for people and fought for a true kind of liberty. He was a reformer of society and culture who used his power to serve others more than self.
I am someone who is passionate about finding new solutions, communicating that vision to others, bringing people together and empowering people to find and live out their unique part in the vision.
To be an ear, a voice, and someone who seeks to give liberty and power back to the people.
I believe it can go both ways. The right leader for the time is the right leader for the time. That may be because of experience in government, or it could be because of experience in another field. I believe we need leaders who are wise and discerning more so than those who are political or led by partisan agenda.
Holding fast to the foundations of the constitution, while also moving forward in a changing world. Socialism is a wolf in sheep's clothing that seeks to devour the nation and the only way out is finding solutions that continue to empower liberty while also empowering and fulfilling people from all aspects of society.
I believe term limits are very important so that the office doesn't become merely a position of power but remains an office of service and and fresh ideas.
