I have always believed that the only way to change things is to get involved. The state of South Dakota has a lot of great things going for it and I want to help even more great things happen.
The list of important things in my life is simple: Faith, Family, and Freedom. Because of the list, I firmly believe in the sanctity of the lives of the unborn, and thus count myself as Pro-Life. In addition, I stand behind the Second Amendment.
I will focus on the facets of Election Integrity, Fiscal Responsibility, and Transparency among others.
I have been a proud South Dakotan since the age of three. Sioux Falls is my home and I share this city with some amazing people including my wife, daughter, and my older kids with families of their own. Becoming a grandfather has highlighted the importance of making decisions in the present that benefit future generations.
I have been a Realtor for over 25 years. As such, I am self-employed, but I have also experienced owning my own real estate business in the past. Because of this, I believe I can bring the perspective of a small business owner to the legislature. I also believe that I can bring insight from what I've learned through life lessons, along with common sense, something that is often missing from politics today.
