Expand all | Collapse all

I am a proud father of three beautiful children. This is the main reason for my desire to protect the preborn lives in our state! I currently work with my father, Kenn, at Master Builder Associates as an Architectural Designer and Project Manager, serving greater Nebraska with commercial and residential design and construction. I enlisted in the U.S. Army as a Cavalry Scout in 2020, at the onset of the COVID pandemic. I I fought for First Amendment religious freedoms in the military and was separated for refusing to compromise my Christian faith. I was presented with the truth of how the COVID vaccine and many others were manufactured- with aborted fetal lines and tissues. As a Christ follower, I refuse to take medication that is developed in any way with child murder. I applied for a religious accommodation to continue service. This was denied. I was presented with Uniform Code of Military Justice charges for refusing to comply with unlawful orders from my unit commander to receive immunizations manufactured with byproducts of child murder. I fought these charges, yet I was still purged from the Army because of my faith, along with 8400 other service members. We need more representatives who can say “NO” to government tyranny and maintain individual freedoms on a no compromise level. I've proven myself to stand strong for conservative and constitutional values of our country, state, and local areas, with individual rights as the priority.
  • PROTECTING THE PREBORN Like many Nebraskans, this is the most important single-voter issue. If a candidate is not pro-life, I do not vote for them. Life is sacred, and children are a gift from our loving God. We must protect life. NO COMPROMISE! If left unfettered, the liberal progressive movement would have on-demand taxpayer-funded abortions up to and exceeding birth. My job is to stop this at the state level. We must lead the way for other conservative states as an example of how we, as Nebraskans and ultimately Americans, hold life dear and protect it.
  • ELIMINATION OF PROPERTY TAX We are all hurting from the rampant inflation, the intrusive regulations, and the demoralization through immoral taxation. As your next state senator, I fully support the elimination of property, income, inheritance, corporate, and sales tax. The EPIC option provides a straightforward path to removing burdensome taxation in every facet of our capitalist system for agriculture, business, and for private everyday Nebraskans. The foundation of our tax system was built on killing ambition. We must rebuild our tax structure in a way that doesn't hurt Nebraska's free enterprise. I look forward to being on the team that gives Nebraska economical freedom.
  • RADICAL LIBERALISM Nebraska has been attacked on every front. Culture, politics, education, economy, family, life, infrastructure, and many more. The liberal party has evolved. The pressure and speed at which they attack our way of life is only ramping up. We saw wins and losses in the legislature during the 2023 session. However, the most publicized events were how a fringe minority of democrats stonewalled, through filibuster, the sensible conservative measures from even being discussed. We felt the frustration, the wasted time, temper tantrums, and the never-ending nonsense that came from embarrassing elected officials. This is not what Nebraska stands for. We must match intensity while
I am passionate primarily about the protection of the beautiful baby boys and girls who are murdered in the womb. We must remove abortion from our state! The preborn do not have a voice; it is our responsibility to advocate on their behalf. Life begins at conception, and their lives are protected under our state and federal constitutions.  I view constitutional rights as non-negotiable; this includes our first and second amendments. We must deregulate the individual from our government and return power to the people to exercise their God-given freedoms! 
I look up to Tucker Carlson, he speaks the truth in an age of fake news.
The Patriot (2000)
As a Nebraska Senator I am beholden to my constituents, and I am running my campaign with

total transparency of my personal values and my desire to deregulate Nebraskans from our state
and federal governments. My goal is to create a hedge of protection around Nebraska from the
federal government's tyrannical overreach, and engage grassroots patriots to transform Nebraska
into the leading conservative state. My responsibility is to legislate in a way that supports the
State Constitution. Many senators have compromised on our constitutional rights, and have

allowed unconstitutional federal initiatives to enter our state where otherwise they would be null.
I hold the vital experience of saying NO to administrative tyranny and government overreach. Many candidates in the Republican Party check the boxes of the People's values and, when put to the test, fold to political pressure and compromise constitutional absolutes. We need representatives who will stay true to their constituents in furthering the return of constitutional freedoms to the People.
The role of the state is to maintain the rights of the people in their state. Furthermore it is the

responsibility of the state legislature to protect their constituents from federal overreach,
especially when it is blatantly unconstitutional practices or directives. If any branch of the
federal or state government passes legislation, mandates, or rules contrary to our state or federal
constitution, they are null and void. It would be the elected officials duty to inform the public of

these illegitimate directives and lead by example with noncompliance.
We must elect patriots who can expose corruption and how it is being pushed into our culture and laws, instead of politicians who compromise on our freedoms. Times are bad, and they are getting worse. The left has secured a foothold, but it's not too late. Exposing darkness to light is the best disinfectant. The conservative legacy is the idea that, like our forefathers, we, as a generation, become footstools for the betterment of the next. As conservatives, our goal is to teach the next generation the values of Christ and how they translate into our society. Our legacy must be the conservation of our way of life for the next generation. Our way of life was paid for at a steep cost. Freedom isn't free, and its worth fighting for.
I was 5 years old during 9-11. What I remember was the reactions of my teacher and parents, as I didn't understand truly what was happening. I remember wondering why everyone was holding their breath and seemed truly afraid.

Hurricane Katrina was the first memorable historical event in my life. I was 9 years old and had a unique opportunity to help the devastated communities with my church on a mission trip in New Orleans.
My father is an architect, my first job was early on helping out on the job sites doing construction.
I am a huge fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
Favorite are "Return of the King", and "The Last Battle," respectively. The triumph of good over evil in those stories resonates with me. 
Aragorn
Simple Man -Lynyrd Skynyrd
Loss of life is the biggest struggle. I am prolife for good reason.
The governor is our state executive branch of government and the legislature is our state legislative branch of government. The ideal relationship between these two branches is accountability and balance of power so as not to be consolidated.
Protecting the Preborn and removing immoral forms of taxation.
There are politicians who are parasitic to the government system and then there are statesmen who truly represent the people who have elected them and uphold the constitution. Extensive political experience can usually be an indicator of a corrupt career politician.
It is truly effective to build relationships with other legislators. However, the requirement as a legislator is to first, uphold the constitution, and second be the representative to your constituents as opposed to other legislators.
I certainly look up to several senators, Halloran, Lippincott, Erdman, and Brewer.
I would like nothing more than to ensure the protection of the preborn lives and remove property tax in Nebraska. When this happens I'm going back to private life and work.
I've heard many, wonderful stories. The largest issue in District 33 is how many individuals are struggling due to rampant taxation. We must remove immoral forms of taxation, and replace them with the Epic Option.
Our current election integrity.
With appropriate checks, balances and accountability.
Protection of the Preborn!

It is required to have absolute transparency, especially with our legislature. We must remove secret voting. The government has and will continue to violate individual rights! It is the primary responsibility of the government when held accountable by the people to protect their rights. Our constitutions are limits on how the government is to operate.
