Biography

I've lived in Casper since 2013, and in Southern and Eastern Colorado before that for most of my life. I've been a lifelong Republican. I've been a pastor since 2003. I've been married for 26 years and have four children.

Experience

I've attended a few Republican conventions but never held political office before. I've been actively following politics since Reagan and writing about it since about 2000.

Education

Bachelor's in political science from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
Masters of Divinity from New Geneva Theological Seminary
Masters of Theology from Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary

Community Activities and Memberships

Most of my community activity is focused on the church. We've also been supporters of True Care Pregnancy Resource Center.

Why I am Running

I've always been a little reluctant to run because my main focus has been the church and I didn't want to confuse those two areas of involvement. I don't have ambitions for higher office but I want to serve my community however I can, and this is a good opportunity to do so.
