The friends and neighbors in the Westfield and Carmel communities want the same things: great schools, safe streets, and welcoming neighbors. My goals as State Representative will be to put the needs of our community first by fighting for women’s rights, supporting public education, and prioritizing the safety of our children and families.
I am the son of a Vietnam Veteran and a Catholic School secretary. My parents taught me the values of integrity, a sense of duty, and putting the community before myself.
I served 16 years in Naval Aviation, then 2 years in the Navy Reserves, here in Indiana. Finally, I transitioned to the Air National Guard, before my retirement. Throughout my military career, whether it was flying airplanes, working with foreign leaders, or advising generals and admirals, I learned the importance of listening to the people around me, understanding their experiences, and sticking up for what was right-no matter what.
When it was time to leave active duty, my family chose to return to our roots in Westfield, Indiana. We have been here full time since 2015, and I now have two children who will be at Westfield High School this year.- Women’s Rights and Health Care - Reproductive rights are an extremely important part of my campaign. I also believe we need to make health care more accessible and affordable for people considering having children.
- Public Education and Teachers Unions - Decades of cuts to education funding and roll backs of teachers’ union rights have made Indiana an undesirable place for teachers to work. Our kids deserve a strong education system that will prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow.
- Gun Safety, Storage, and Sales - As a gun owner, I am very proud to be a Gun Sense candidate from Mom’s Demand Action. Gun safety and training is a necessary part of responsible gun ownership.
Not only am I a veteran of Afghanistan, but I am the son of a Vietnam Vet. As a VoteVets endorsed candidate, veteran issues will always be a priority of mine. In the last two years, Veteran homelessness in Indiana has increased by 16%. While the Federal government has recently passed legislation to help better connect our veterans with health care and other supportive services, our state must step in to solve the problem of veteran homelessness.
