I was raised in a large family during Lander’s heyday as a US Steel community and my high school class was the largest in the town’s history. I worked a lot of jobs and saved money for college and obtained a bachelor’s and a Doctorate in Economics from UW focusing on Natural Resources and Public Utilities.
I joined the Illinois Commerce Commission (a large utility regulatory agency) and became the director of the Policy Analysis Division. When my mother died, I returned to Lander to be with my elderly father and accepted a position with a Chicago-based utility consulting firm that later became part of Coopers and Lybrand. That led to international work, mostly for USAID, in infrastructure, utilities, and environment protection. I worked on significant issues in many nations important to US interest.
I am a businessman with a policy consulting firm and together with my son, George, own the Inn at Lander.
I love Wyoming and would like to see her be strong, healthy and sustainable.

As an economist with worldwide experience, I have strong tools with respect to government policy, taxes, infrastructure, and more.
I serve on important committees: Revenue, Corporations, and Tribal and have been the chairman of all. I am an effective legislator who works across the aisle.
I am proud of the Wyoming Senate and the balanced leadership that we established during the last session.
I believe in our system of government and work hard to uphold its constitutional principles.

The 2026 primary may be Wyoming’s most important election since statehood. At stake is our philosophy of government. Are we going to continue to have a government that supports communities, public education and builds infrastructure for the long term? Or are we going to succumb to the populist movement which has made gains in the past two elections and brought us financially strapped communities, endangered our institutions of higher learning, diverted tax dollars for elite private education, and threatened our permanent savings?
Are we going to respect the Wyoming Constitution and system of government which includes a strong and independent judiciary? Or are we going down the road of repeatedly passing unconstitutional laws, chastising the judiciary for doing their job and not submitting constitutional issues to the people for ratification?

Economy: Wyoming has the slowest growing economy in our region. We also have the fastest aging population and the slowest population growth. Our tax structure largely relies on the mineral industry whose mix has changed considerably in the past decade. More than any other state, young people tend to leave Wyoming for greener pastures. We need to prepare and to invest in a future that's attractive to young people and newcomers. We need a tax structure that supports change and allows us to reach those industries that are not paying their fair share.
Government: Restoration of faith in Governments requires that we elect public servants that respect the office, our constitutionally based system of government, and each other.
Civility, tolerance and respect: Our narrow-minded, parochial reputation does us no favors. We are less welcoming, especially of people that do not look like ourselves. Intolerance and a lack of respect have changed our state from the “live and let live” Wyoming that we cherished. One of the highest suicide rates in the nation is indicative of deep underlying problems.
