As an aerospace engineer I worked for the USAF for 8 years and now work in the private industry. I have worked on many projects from F-15s to cutting edge hypersonic technology. I have led multi-million dollar projects and have the experience to get things done. I have spent the last two years as the Xenia School Board President and I have worked tirelessly to protect our children. My wife and I have been married for 10 years and have 4 amazing children. I love volunteering to coach their sports and working with the young men in my church. I believe the government should serve its people, not rule over them. I will work hard every day for you and to see a New Day for Ohio!
  • I understand how hard we work for our money. As your next representative I will fight to reduce government spending and fight to bring our tax dollars back to our communities. We need to find a way to lower taxes and eliminating the income tax is a good place to start.
  • Our families and our children are under attack. As a father of 4, I will prioritize protecting our children from harmful ideologies and unnecessary medical practices. I will return family values to the state house. I have worked hard on the school board to protect our children and will continue that fight in Columbus. We also need to help our families. With childcare costs, rent and home ownership costs skyrocketing we need to do something now.
  • I believe government power has gone too far. I believe the government should serve its people first and allow business and people to act freely. I also believe our tax dollars need to stay in our local communities where the best decisions can be made on how to meet our needs
I think an elected official needs to have a strong moral character. Someone that is true to their beliefs and also a strong voice for their community.
As an aerospace engineer I have a unique ability to look at an issue without emotion and evaluate to find the best possible solution. I am a strong leader and I am able to build many relationships.
Our greatest challenge is fixing the drug issues caused by our open boarders and getting our citizens back into the workforce.
Yes, without relationships there is no way to get anything done for your community.
