Growing up in Pinellas County, my parents made sure my siblings and I had every opportunity in the world and instilled in us some simple truths: that common-sense isn’t common, to save for a rainy day, and that I can make a positive difference.
As a husband, father and business owner who grew up locally, I know firsthand the issues our community is facing. Summers in between my years at Clearwater High School, I would split my time between bussing at the New Orleans Oyster Bar and selling sporting goods at Instant Replay in Clearwater Mall. I saved money to ensure I could go to college because I was certain of one thing: no one could take away my education.
I attended law school and then proudly served as a Florida Assistant State Attorney for 5 years where I worked to put dangerous criminals including drug cartel members and child molesters behind bars while also teaching law at the local police academy. I wanted to make a difference so I worked day and night to uphold justice and fight government negligence and corruption.
Now, in my private practice, I continue to do the same – stand up for law enforcement, defend our rule of law, and offer a path of rehabilitation to those who are in their darkest moments.- I am running for Congress to lower taxes and protect our hard earned money.
- We must combat our current affordability crisis, lower gas prices, and work to lower inflation that is crushing Florida families.
- I am law enforcement's choice for Congress, and will always support policies that protect our communities and support law enforcement.
-Protect our pocket books and ensure the government doesn't raise our taxes
-Fight rising inflation that is making our everyday lives increasingly unaffordable
-Bolster our national security and secure our border
-Work on common-sense economic policies that boost small businesses
