The greatest gift, after life and 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 acres in 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 CD 3 race when she ran against Marxist Raul Grijalva.

I was twice the volunteer coordinator, censuring 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.
