Expand all | Collapse all

I am a father, truck driver, and small business owner. Since 2016 I have lived in Berkeley County, WV and I am proud to raise a family here.
  • As a truck driver and a father I understand what it is like to work paycheck to paycheck trying to raise a child. I will fight to keep more money in your pockets and build better schools.
  • I will not be just another politician, my purpose is to bring my constituents together and fight for the greater agenda not a personal one,
  • As a delegate I will be out in the community I won’t just be another name in Charleston.
I am passionate about education and fiscal responsibility. Our communities have grown tremendously, our schools are overcrowded and underfunded. Time and time again you’re told your taxes go to schools and roads but yet schools and roads are horrible. I will fight to change this.
I believe integrity is important. Your constituents expect you to be their voice and I think what you do in private working on legislation is what makes you a great representative.
I believe one of my best qualities is my ability to relate to people.
My favorite book is The Outsiders. It helps you realize that some people may have problems and your problems aren’t always as bad as you think.
I believe our greater challenge is to erase party lines. It’s a battle over who is Republican or who is Democrat and nothing is getting done.
I do believe it’s beneficial to build relationships. The more you get to know someone the better you understand their views and their thinking process.
I do believe there has to be some compromise, not everyone shares the same views. As long as you don’t go against your values I think an open mind will help achieve a greater goal.
