I have spent ten years overseas and had the opportunity to travel the world, minister to refugees and orphans, and learn foreign languages and cultures.
I graduated from West Point with a double major in Civil Engineering and Mathematics and served and deployed as an Army officer.
Since then, I have worked in land development in DFW and have built a small investment research business. My wife and I have been active in our church and numerous community organizations and activities.- I am running to represent Mesquite, South Garland, and East Dallas in the Texas House because our society has been ripped apart by partisanship for too long at the expense of our God-given rights.
- We need to eliminate legislature pensions in order to attract more selfless servants to public office and fewer career politicians. That's why I will refuse salary and pension.
- We must prioritize issues that impact the fundamental rights and welfare of all Texans, regardless of ethnicity, gender, or creed.
