Earlier in his career he worked as IT Service Desk Manager at Cantey Tech Consulting, Director of Network Operations at CyndrTec, and Lead Technical Specialist and Manager at Compuzone.

Why I am Running

I'm running for House District 36 because Wyoming is at a crossroads, and I want my daughters to grow up in a state that still feels like the one I chose to make my home.
Public lands are at the center of that. They're not just scenery, they're our hunting grounds, grazing land, open space, and a big part of what makes Wyoming different from anywhere else. When outside interests push to transfer or sell off public lands, they're not just talking about acreage, they're talking about taking away something that belongs to every one of us.
But this isn't only about land. It's about whether the Wyoming of today is building something that lasts for the Wyoming of tomorrow. That means good jobs that let families stay here instead of moving away to find work. It means affordable housing so young families and longtime residents alike can put down roots. It means strong schools, reliable infrastructure, and a state government that listens to its people instead of talking past them.
My career has been spent solving problems by listening first: gathering the facts, hearing every side, and building consensus before acting. That's the approach I'll bring to the legislature. Not showmanship, not politics for its own sake, but steady, practical work on behalf of the people of District 36.
I'm running because I believe Wyoming's best days can still be ahead of us, if we protect what makes this place special while building what our families need to thrive here for generations to come.

Top 3 Priorities

Public lands are core to who we are in Wyoming. They're our hunting grounds, our grazing land, our open space, and a piece of what makes this state different from anywhere else. I'll stand firm against efforts to transfer or sell off public lands, because once they're gone, they're gone for good.

Economic development means building an economy that lets families stay here instead of moving away to find work. That means supporting the industries Wyoming already relies on while making room for new opportunities, cutting red tape for small businesses, and investing in the infrastructure that makes growth possible. Every family shouldn't have to choose between staying in Wyoming and building a future.

Rural healthcare is personal to nearly every family in this district. Too many Wyoming communities are losing access to basic care, from maternity services to emergency rooms, and that puts lives at risk. I'll work to keep rural hospitals open, support the healthcare workforce, and make sure access to care doesn't depend on your zip code.

My career has taught me to solve problems by listening first, gathering the facts, and building consensus before acting. That's the approach I'll bring to these three priorities and to every issue facing District 36.
