Our full campaign site is under construction.
You’ll be redirected to my campaign hub in 300 seconds:
Dignity for All — The Values That Unite Us, Not Divide Us.
In Utah’s 2nd District, families are working two or three jobs just to survive, while billionaires get tax breaks. Rural hospitals are shutting down, leaving entire towns without care, and veterans are driving over three hours to the Salt Lake VA for basic treatment. That’s not a system — that’s abandonment.
I’ve stepped up to the plate because the Marine Corps taught me to be proactive when others hesitate. I’m not afraid to be the voice for those being disparaged and stripped of their dignity by leaders pushing bigotry and corporate interests over everyday people. I know firsthand what it’s like to grow up on food stamps, to rely on Medicare and Medicaid, and to wonder how you’ll make it through another month.
I will fight to restore the programs gutted by H.R. 1, keep rural hospitals open, fix VA care across Utah, and ensure every worker earns a livable wage so families can live with dignity — not exhaustion.
This campaign isn’t about politics — it’s about dignity, fairness, and making government work for the people again.

About Me
I served in the United States Marine Corps Infantry from 2000 to 2004. While stationed in Washington, D.C., I witnessed the Pentagon attack on 9/11. I later stood as part of the Honor Guard at Ground Zero in New York City once the site was cleared. I deployed twice to Iraq — first with the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines during the push into Baghdad, where we tore down Saddam Hussein’s statue, and again in 2004 with the 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines during the First Battle of Fallujah, fighting in the Battle of Husaybah.
I was born and raised in Fairpark, Utah, growing up in the VIP Trailer Park with a single mother who relied on SNAP, free school lunches, and summer meal programs. I was later placed in a group home, and ultimately raised by my grandmother, whose Teamster pension and Social Security gave me a stable home until I joined the Marines. I started working at 12 delivering newspapers and later at Crossroads Mall, learning early what hard work really means.
Today, I live by the same self-sufficiency I was raised on. I do much of the work on my home myself — tiling, wiring, and flooring — and keep a backyard flock of ten hens. I’ve been a beekeeper on and off for over a decade, though I’m not currently keeping bees. I’ve only ever raised Great Danes and share my home with Duke, along with three kittens I adopted last fall.
I’m not a career politician — I’m a Marine veteran and an advocate for working families, veterans, and rural Utahns who deserve leaders who fight for dignity and fairness over corporate or extremist interests.
