Expand all | Collapse all

I am a Texan Catholic husband, father, and entrepreneur with a chemical engineering degree and MBA from Rice University. I currently serve as a Board Trustee for the Spring Branch ISD. My father was a US diplomat and my mother a teacher. I have served as Scoutmaster for Troop 598 at St. John Vianney, Rice Engineering Alumni President, Livestock Committee Captain, and SBMSA coach. I have started and run two successful engineering consulting companies - both in HD133. My wife and I are currently kicking off year 14 of our second company.
  • We have a leadership problem in the Texas House and it is time for House Speaker Dade Phelan to go. Once elected, I will not vote for Dade Phelan as House Speaker.
  • We have too many moderate "Republicans" and Establishment uniparty donors enabling the Democrats' agenda and it is time for strong conservative conviction to stand up, push back, and hold the line. It is a party priority to no longer support the practice of assigning Democrats to committee chair positions. I will work hard to support and enact this priority.
  • I am dedicated to serving my constituents. I am running to serve HD133 families and parents and students and everyone to the best of my ability. I have demonstrated my conservative courage and character via my service as SBISD Board Trustee. I have run organizations for long periods of time, which is what it takes to understand servant leadership and its impact on a culture, its behaviors and outcomes and learning loops. I will bring all of my technical, business, and community talents to bear to the HD133 State Rep office.
My top priorities are:

- Border security - we need a Border Protection Unit, mandated E-Verify, and no ownership of Texan land and resources by any entity deemed a threat to the US.
- Election integrity - we need paper ballots, verification of citizenship to vote, and Attorney General authority to prosecute voter fraud.
- Medical liberty - NO vaccine mandates.

- School choice and fair funding for Texas parents and students.
Maintain a steady pulse of the community's needs and serve them as best as possible without compromising oneself.
It is always beneficial to build relationships with people you work with.
