My wife Isabella and I are raising our two boys here because we believe Nash County should be a place where families can thrive. I serve on the boards of the Boys & Girls Club, the Good Shepherd Day School Board, and the UNC Nash Healthcare Foundation because I'm invested in our kids' futures and our community's health.
Professionally, I've spent my career in both national security, advanced manufacturing, and energy innovation - managing large budgets and workforce programs. This is the kind of work that requires getting results, not just making promises. I've learned how to navigate complex systems, build coalitions, and deliver outcomes that matter.
I'm running because I keep asking myself the same question every parent here asks: do our kids have a future in Nash County? Can they get a good education, find a decent job, and build a life here - or will they have to leave to find opportunity?
I believe we can do better, and I'm ready to work for it.- The question driving this campaign is simple: can our kids build a future in Nash County, or will they have to leave to find opportunity? Right now, too many young people are choosing to go. We're not investing in what matters - fully funded public schools that prepare students for real jobs, accessible healthcare, and economic development that creates careers, not just low-wage work. Every decision in Raleigh should pass one test: does this help Nash County families stay, thrive, and build futures here? That's the standard I'll fight for, because our children shouldn't have to choose between opportunity and home.
- Nash County families don't need more Raleigh drama - they need someone focused on getting results. That means fully funding public education so teachers aren't buying supplies out of pocket. Expanding Medicaid so working families can afford healthcare. Investing in infrastructure and job training so businesses want to locate here. I won't waste time on culture war distractions or partisan stunts. I'll work with anyone - Democrat, Republican, Independent - who's serious about delivering for our community. People over politics. Outcomes over outrage. That's how I've worked my entire career, and that's how I'll serve in Raleigh.
- Raleigh has spent years prioritizing out-of-state corporations over local communities. Meanwhile, our schools are underfunded, our rural hospitals are closing, and working families are being squeezed. I'll put Nash County first—not special interests, not party bosses, not corporate lobbyists. That means fighting for our fair share of state funding, protecting public education from privatization schemes, and ensuring our tax dollars come back to benefit our neighbors. I'm accountable to you, not Raleigh insiders. You'll know where I stand, and I'll answer for every vote I cast.
If government shouldn't meddle with your guns, it shouldn't micromanage our doctor's offices, churches, schools, or bedrooms. You can't champion personal responsibility while controlling people's private lives.
