Native Texan, Veteran, Husband, Office Worker.

I was born at Methodist Hospital in Dallas Texas. I've physically lived in North Texas my entire life except for 4 years in the Air Force. I lived in District 32 in Dallas, and was also in District 32 until it was redistricted to District 5 and then redistricted again back to District 32.

I don't have the pedigree of the others running for this same office. I don't sit on Boards of Directors, own businesses, serve as CEO, have a fancy degree or have ties to legacy political organizations. I commute to a job where I work 40+ hours a week, pay bills and enjoy time with my family as much as I can. I'm not the establishment elite. I'm one of you, not wanting to rule over you like some.

I envision executing the will of the people of District 32 and doing what is right for Texas, our Nation and the World in that order.
  • Have you felt the weight of rising prices, the challenge of finding good jobs, or the unease of an uncertain future? Too many of us wake to that reality every day. But what if we could change it? I stand here promising you a new dawn: an economy where your dollars stretch further, your work is valued, and your future feels secure.

    We’ll tackle prices with bold action—streamlining supply chains, negotiating fair trade, aiming to ease the cost of essentials. We’ll create jobs in tech and manufacturing. For security, we’ll expand savings programs and cap debt interest rates, ensuring your hard-earned money builds a foundation, not a burden.

    This isn’t just my promise—it’s ours. Together, we’ll forge an economy that works for every pocket.
  • Too many feel our Republic is adrift, clouded by secrecy and self-interest. I stand before you with a promise to clean house—to restore a government that belongs to us all. This isn’t easy. Entrenched interests will resist, and progress takes time. But I pledge to fight, step by step, with you at my side. Our democracy once weathered storms—think of the reforms of the past. Today, we’ll adapt that courage for a digital age, proving government can be a mirror of the people. What do you say—will you join me to reclaim it?
  • Have you seen the chaos of illegal crossings, the scourge of drug smuggling, the horror of human trafficking? Too many lives are touched by this, from border towns to inner cities. I promise you reform that secures our nation while honoring our values. Together, we'll stop illegal immigration with smart borders while partnering with. We'll crack down on drug smuggling through AI at ports and joint operations, disrupting cartels that poison our streets. For human trafficking, we'll create victim-centered task forces, safe havens, and severe penalties, ensuring no one profits from exploitation.
I just want to make America a better place to live for everyone. Better jobs, higher pay, lower prices are at the top of the list. Security is up there too. We should feel safe in our communities. Our government should serve the people in a limited capacity and give us the freedom to live our lives without funding bloated systems that benefit other countries or infringe on our rights. The world should also reflect our security, freedom and value human life.
My core responsibility when elected will be to execute the will of the people of District 32. I'll be their representative, not their king or dictator. We will work together to enact your will and to make all of our lives better, safer and more affordable.
I worked for a few years at Pizza Plaza in Pottsboro Texas as my first job. It was certainly character building and a great chance to see lots of people, talk to them and see how different people approached life.
I think that I've had mostly the same basic experiences that most people have. I struggled with money when I was young because I wasn't taught about it. I struggled with relationships until I was a bit more mature. I had a broken leg that took a year before I was 100% back to normal. I lost both my parents years apart to cancer.

I think that these are things that most of us experience in varying degrees, and all of it has made me the man that I am today.
House members should serve 4 year terms and be limited to 12 years. With a 2 year term, members typically serve a year and then campaign for a year while trying to still serve the people. This seems inefficient to me. Representatives should be up for election in a staggered fashion so that 1/2 of the House is up for reelection every 2 years.
Term limits should have been enacted for the House and Senate at the same time that they were passed for the President. I find it hypocritical for the House and Senate to pass a law for one branch of government while effectively exempting themselves. Senate and House should be limited to 12 years, and House terms should be adjusted to 4 years instead of 2 so that we are not running for election half of our terms.
Compromise is 100% necessary for policymaking. The nation is pretty evenly divided by political party with a center that moves back and forth. Representatives are not elected to represent one political party, but we are elected to represent everyone in each district.

It is necessary to take this into consideration and to work together to for the betterment of all.
