I am a third-generation farmer/feeder from Lingle. I am also a practicing attorney. I graduated from LFL high school before receiving my B.S. and J.D. from the University of Wyoming. My wife, Caren, and I have been married for 22 years and we have three daughters; Natalie, Charlotte, and Lydia. I enjoy watching my daughters compete in sports.

I served 10 years on Lingle-Fort Laramine Conservation District Board of Supervisors and am currently on the Board of Directors for the Lucerne Canal and Power Company

I graduated from Lingle-Fort Laramie High School in 1998. I earned my B.S. in Animal Science from the University of Wyoming in 2002. I received my J.D. from the University of Wyoming in 2023.

I am an active member of the Torrington Rotary Club. I am also a member of the Knights of Columbus at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Torrington.

I’m running for House District 5 because my friends and neighbors deserve steady, competent leadership in Cheyenne. I will build coalitions, work with good people from across Wyoming, and deliver results on the issues that matter most.

1) Abortion – I will work with fellow legislators to pass a Wyoming constitutional amendment, paired with companion legislation, so that our state law clearly reflects Wyoming’s strong value for the unborn.
2) Taxation – Taxes should never be more than is necessary to meet the government’s constitutional obligations. I will work to balance fair and uniform taxation with responsible, efficient, and restrained government spending.
3) Large-Scale Development Projects – Whether it’s a data center, nuclear reactor, housing subdivision, or any other major project, I will work to ensure these developments do not threaten our environment or our private property rights.
