Michael was born in Maryland Heights, Missouri, and spent 14 years of his childhood as a foster kid in Missouri and Illinois. He is a Mascoutah Community High School graduate.

Following his service in the US Army, including a 14 month tour in Iraq, Michael married his wife of 16 years and is the proud parent of four lovely children.

Michael furthered his education with an MBA in Finance and Supply Chain Management and is presently employed in sales and marketing in Branson, Missouri.
  • Generating economic prosperity through policies that foster business growth and provide abundant opportunities. Positioning Missouri as the premier location for emerging, expanding, and successful businesses while brining back manufacturing jobs to Missouri and focusing on regional development.
  • As a veteran, I recognize the importance of ensuring that law enforcement and first responders receive the best training and equipment, which is vital for the safety and well-being of all Missouri families. The dedicated service of these courageous individuals on the front lines of our communities is an integral part of what makes our community exceptional. By addressing crime at the local level in Missouri we will contribute to creating a safer environment and help mitigate the effects of the border crisis, such as drug trafficking and other illegal activities.
  • As a parent of four, I firmly believe in the critical importance of education. It is imperative that we prioritize recruiting and retaining top-tier educators in all Missouri schools to provide our children with a superb learning experience. By aiming to establish Missouri as a benchmark for public education nationwide, we can effectively equip our children with the skills and knowledge needed to excel as future professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. It is essential that we make significant investments in our schools to secure a prosperous future for Missouri.

Integrity is of paramount importance for any elected official. Integrity was ingrained in me during my service as a soldier in the U.S. Army and is a fundamental aspect of my character. Acting with integrity means doing what is morally right even in the absence of oversight and without personal benefit. Effective representatives always prioritize operating with integrity to ensure that they act in the best interests of their constituents. Acting with integrity also ensures officials uphold the highest ethical standards while serving the community.
The events of September 11, 2001 marked a significant turning point for our nation. As a high school sophomore at the time, I vividly recall the impact of this historical event. Little did I know that it would eventually lead to my service in the Iraq War in 2007.
I obtained my first job at the age of 14. It was a position at a nearby dog kennel, which I commuted to by bicycle. I remained in that role for 2 years until the kennel ceased its operations, prompting me to explore other opportunities.
I am interested in The Ethics Committee, The Budget Committee, the Children and Families Committee, Elementary and Secondary Education, and the Veterans Committee.
