I’m a Brevard native, husband, and father of two. I believe it’s time for younger conservative leaders to step up and help protect the future we will one day leave to our children and grandchildren. Like most people, I’ve been focused on building a career, providing for my family, and planning for the years ahead. After graduating from the University of North Florida, I built my career in the heavy equipment and transportation industry, supporting America’s space and defense sectors. But becoming a father changed the way I look at the world. I stopped thinking only about the next few years and started thinking about the community, state, and country my children will inherit.

As I paid closer attention to the challenges facing our community, I quickly noticed that too many elected officials spend more time worrying about their next election than the next generation. Yet the decisions being made today will shape the opportunities our children have tomorrow. My children will go to school here, build their lives here, and hopefully raise families of their own one day. Whether families can still afford to live here, whether our communities remain safe, whether parents remain in charge of raising their children, and whether the values that built Brevard endure for generations to come are not political issues to me; they are personal. Brevard is my home, and I believe it’s time for younger conservative leaders to take responsibility for the future we are building together. That’s why I’m running for the Florida House.
