I live in Ballwin with my wife, Sarah, and our five-year-old daughter. I graduated from the University of Missouri – St. Louis. I am proud of my active role at Trinity Presbyterian Church where I have served as a deacon.
 
​Over recent years, I've witnessed a troubling trend where free market solutions, which are fundamental to our country's success, have been unfairly criticized by some. This rhetoric has coincided with policies that, in my view, have unnecessarily caused economic distress by slowing our economy, impacting millions of people. As we move forward, I believe it's crucial to uphold the principles that have historically driven our prosperity while ensuring policies provide for equal opportunities.
 
​I am committed to empowering every Missourian to achieve a prosperous future. With a background in finance, I've seen firsthand the challenges faced by college graduates burdened with crippling student loan debt, hindering their ability to achieve milestones like homeownership and starting a family. It's crucial that we implement policies to make higher education more affordable and foster opportunities in high-paying STEM fields as well as skilled trades like mechanics, plumbers, and HVAC workers. This dual approach will ensure economic growth and provide pathways to success for all Missourians.​
 
I'm deeply concerned about the future of my daughter's generation. From classrooms that prioritize teaching what to think over how to think, to the unsustainable burden of student loan debt, and the imperative need for good-paying jobs that support future families—these are critical issues. My commitment to protecting the freedoms of every Missourian and fostering economic growth will guide every policy decision if re-elected to the Missouri Legislature. Together, we can ensure a brighter future for all our children.
