I am a father of 3 three children and have been married to my wonderful wife for 10 years. I have lived in North Carolina my whole life. I graduated from UNC Charlotte with a BS in Accounting and a BS in Finance. For the last eight years I have been the controller for a management company that operates franchise restaurants. We have had 11 locations in our group.
- We have to get the economy back on track. Inflation is crushing working class families at the grocery store, the gas station, and on their property tax bills.
- Crime and illegal immigration rates are up. We must ensure that our communities are safe by bringing back law an order.
- We must ensure that our children are healthy enough to receive the future we are fighting to preserve. Childhood disease and autism rates are higher than ever. To have the brightest future, we need our children to be healthy!
I have twin boys with special needs. Everyone having healthy children is something I am passionate about. Children are the most vulnerable of our society. We must keep them safe and healthy!
I am a Christian, so Jesus and the Bible are the standard.
I also believe that Donald Trump will be considered one of the greatest presidents of all time after his second term.
I believe Ron Paul had good values and policies, but was ahead of his time.

Being able to make and cultivate relationships is important. You can't advocate effectively for the people of your district, if you can't make and build relationships.
I also believe having courage is essential to being a good leader. You must stand for the values of your community, even if it is not the popular opinion or view point of other elected officials.
My ability to make relationship with people quickly will help me the most. I can't know everything, but making good relationship with trusted people will help me be well rounded.
To do the will of the people. To advocate for legislation and policy that will enrich the live of the people in my district.
That I helped make a better future for our children.

Governor signs bills that are passed.
Funding all the states liabilities while rebuilding Western North Carolina.
I am sure it is beneficial for procedural purposes, but not a necessity. I am a first time candidate and believe I am prepared for the job because of my background. I believe the longer someone is in politics, the more likely they become self serving instead of serving the people.
I do. After I won my primary race, I traveled to Raleigh once a month to build relationships with current members. I have also built relationships with candidates that could become freshman members with myself.
Representative Neal Jackson has been a mentor to me and I hope to build relationship in the GA like he has. I also have a ton of respect for Senator Paul Newton and hope to become a leader like he has.
God makes the plan and I just follow his lead.
While I was knocking doors, I met a voter who had his stage 4 cancer cured. He introduced us to a neurologist that now helps our twin boys who have speech development delays.
Joe Biden is the most popular president ever.
I need to do more research on this topic. I do believe that when Roy Cooper put North Carolina in a State of Emergency for two years during Covid, it was an overreach of Government.
I'm not sure.

I am in favor of 100% financial transparency. It's the peoples money, so we should know where it is all being spent.
We need government accountability more than ever and I believe it is coming!
I believe a state ballot initiative would be a good process

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
