I am the legacy of the original American radicals, our Founding Fathers, who had some very unconventional ideas.
They believed that We the People are sovereign citizens of the Republic, not subjects, whose rights are inherent and individual, coming from God, our creator, not from government or monarchy. Thus, our rights are unalienable, which may not be taken or surrendered.
Our United States Constitution and our Arizona Constitution were written to protect the citizens from government, not to protect the government from the citizens.
Our government is a republic, which follows the rule of law, not a democracy, that is subject to the disposition of the mob.
The Arizona Constitution, Article II, Section 2, states that “All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights."
I believe that this is the most significant clause in the Arizona Constitution. It establishes supremacy. We the People have the power. As a citizen of our Republic, you lend some of your power to those who represent you.
Exercise great consideration to whom you lend your power. Be vigilant of those who do not acknowledge that all political power is inherent in the people, for they will come for your rights. Anyone who attempts to take your rights is your enemy.
Biography
The greatest gift, after life and Christian faith, given to me by my parents was moving our family to Arizona when I was a child. We settled in south Scottsdale, where I finished elementary school, then graduated from Coronado High School.
During this period, through our church community, I gained a mentor who owned acreage around Clay Springs, in Rim Country. I was hooked on rural Arizona. There I learned to use most tools, from a shovel to a backhoe. I learned how to improvise and was able to develop critical thinking skills.
In my adult life I have been a small business owner and continue to operate a family business with my wife Kerry, who I met at the 1993 Payson Rodeo Dance. Today, we are the grateful stewards of a couple of acres in Northeastern Gila County, just under the Mogollon Rim.
Politically, I have been a lifelong Republican, a constitutional conservative, coming to age with Ronald Reagan in the White House.
I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 2011. I have served as a Legislative District Chairman, First Vice Chairman, and Secretary.
I was twice elected to the Maricopa County Republican Committee, Executive Guidance Council, as a Member-at-Large.
I was the Maricopa County coordinator for Gabby Mercer’s 2014 Congressional District 3 race when she ran against Marxist Congressman Raul Grijalva.
I was twice the coordinator of volunteers, who successfully censured Sen. John McCain for his failures to follow Republican values.
I have caucused as a Gila County Republican Committee Precinct Committeeman since 2020.
I was a 2024 candidate for the Arizona State House, Legislative District 7.
I was a ballot chaser, within Arizona’s Legislative District 7, for Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point Action, leading up to the 2024 General Election. I again chased ballots for Turning Point Action, this time in Wisconsin prior to their 2025 Spring Election.
I am now a 2026 candidate for the Arizona State House, Legislative District 7.
