I’m a husband, a father of school age twins, an economics professor, and an entrepreneur. I went to junior high and high school in OC and married my high school sweetheart. We are fortunate to be living the American Dream here in OC, but that American Dream isn’t available to everyone. Money in politics has broken our political system and changed the incentives of our leaders.

I've studied how to fix this, and in 2020 I began my efforts. First I built VotingSmarter.org, a team of 135 volunteers that conducted 4,000 hours of candidate research and built a “dating app for elections” that matched thousands of voters to the candidates best matched them on the on the issues rather than party, race, gender, or identity.

After the 2020 election I started my company Shoppyist.com. We have built a shopping platform that gives regular people their political power back by changing how they shop. Big corporation buy politicians using their customer’s money, and now those customers can see how and choose the brands that match their values!

Now I am taking my fight against political corruption and misinformation to DC to try and change the rules from the inside.
  • People over party Democrats and Republicans have proven they can't work together in the interest of the people.
  • Money has corrupted our leaders and we have to change the rules about how we fund campaigns and report lobbying.
  • Our problems are fixable. The middle even agrees on the compromise solutions. We just need need leaders willing to do it.
campaign finance reform,

lobbying reform,
housing affordability,
homelessness,
crime,
gun safety,
immigration,
healthcare,
education,
environmental protection,

and the ballooning debt.
#1 My mother. "What would Linda do?" is a guiding principle.
  1. 2 My wife. Her strength is the foundation our family is built.
  2. 3 Abraham Lincoln. Transformational leadership.
  3. 4 Martin Luther King Jr. The ends do not justify the means.
Rational irrationality and the microfoundations of political failure and Rational Ignorance versus Rational Irrationality papers by Bryan Caplan, Freakonomics, Price Theory by Milton Friedman.
To represent the interests of their constituents with the utmost integrity and empathy in accordance with the Constitution.
I want to change the incentives of our leaders so they can leave a legacy of growth, justice, and equality.
My first job was shoveling horse stalls in exchange for horseback riding lessons when I was 12 yeas old, I held it about a year until we moved.
The Black Stallion. It was my favorite book as a kid and now it's my favorite to read with my kids. I also really enjoy The Great Gatsby.
Having kids was very difficult for us. It took 7 years, multiple medical procedures, and several miscarriages to get our two beautiful miracle babies.
Political gridlock, crushing debt, mismanaged transition to Artificial Intelligence
Yes, as long as it doesn't take 18 months to fundraise for re-election.
I think term limits are a great idea.
I hate exploiting those stories. It never feels genuine. But yes I have heard multiple stories about the foster care system and how it fails our kids that really moved me this cycle.
I will not vote for ANY continuing resolutions unless we are at war. I will only follow the proper budgeting process and work to pass the 12 required appropriations bills.
Evenly. When laws or the public trust is violated it must be investigated but it is disgusting how both political parties protect the nefarious actions of their own members.
