Steady. Optimistic. Compassionate. I was raised in Utah and graduated from Jordan High School. After two years of missionary service in Brazil I attended BYU graduating with a bachelors and a masters degree in accounting and a law degree. After working for a law firm in Washington DC for 7 years my wife and I and our 5 children moved to Draper in 2008 where I have continued my legal practice in a small law firm. I enjoy golf, basketball, music and being outdoors. In my career I have spent 20 years negotiating win-win outcomes for complex business transactions. I would like to put my negotiating and problem solving skills to work in the legislature.
  • Seeking Unity. We need to find ways to unify our citizens instead of deepening the divide along party lines. The divisiveness caused by our two major political parties is the biggest crisis we face because it touches all of the other political issues of the day and makes them worse. There are difficult and complex problems to tackle in our country and our state, but these conversations are not taking place because the political environment is so toxic. As an elected official I will work hard for government reforms that help citizens be more involved and help make the political environment less heated including: voting reform (ranked choice voting and approval voting), term limits and campaign finance transparency. We should also NOT ma
  • Cost of Living and Educational Opportunities. In Utah we are being hit with record inflation coupled with skyrocketing house and apartment prices and skyrocketing medical costs. The State legislature can enact policies to help alleviate housing costs and medical costs to start to chip away at these problems and I would look for every opportunity to do that. We also need to find ways to give opportunities to more of our youth to attend college, trade school or get technical training so they can obtain higher paying jobs.
  • Utah’s Outdoor lifestyle. The current drought is a huge problem that must be addressed more aggressively. The disappearance of the Great Salt Lake would have terrible economic impacts on the State. We also need to better manage the bad air quality in the cities and consider how to best utilize our canyons and other wonderful outdoor features in Utah so we can all continue to enjoy them and preserve them for the next generation.
Educational and career training; Improving government by making it more transparent and more responsive to voters
Listening. Hard Work.
I know how to work hard. I negotiate complex transactions for a career and have learned how to "get things over the finish line" in a way that makes both sides happy with the result. I can stay calm and focused even during intense negotiations.
Getting to know the citizens. Being responsive to the citizens. Studying the issues.
For my political efforts to be seen as uniting people and focusing on the needs of the citizens rather than benefiting any political party or my personal political career.
One (by U2)
Working together with full transparency.
Managing growth.
Arguably it is more efficient as only one legislative body needs to vote, but I prefer our current system with both a House and Senate with different terms and different constituencies because I believe the diversity of opinion that arises is beneficial.
It shouldn’t be a prerequisite. I’m not in favor of career politicians. I think the more people we can rotate through office after a few terms is better for the citizens. It avoids concentrating power in a single individual and allows for diverse viewpoints to be heard.
Absolutely. We are all on the same team and all have the same objective - helping Utah citizens.
Ideally, redistricting should be non-partisan and approved by an independent body of lawmakers and/or citizens.
Education.
N/A
No single person - I admire many prior legislators from both parties.
Not in the immediate future. Perhaps later on depending on life and family circumstances. I have no aspirations to be a career politician.
I recently spoke to a disabled veteran who wished politics wasn’t so divisive. He was afraid to speak up about anything politically for fear of being ridiculed by someone who didn’t share his views.
I'm a fan of any “dad joke” that makes my kids roll their eyes.
Proper, functioning checks and balances are critical for any government body.
In most instances, yes. Middle ground that actually satisfies a vast majority of the concerns of both sides can often be found if people are willing to engage in good faith discussions. However for those who insist on extreme positions, sometimes the answer just needs to be “no”.
