Where did you serve and what did you do?

I served 22 years in the U.S. Army. My service included assignments with SWCC and EOD, and with the 101st Airborne Division. I deployed in support of operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan, serving in leadership and operational roles focused on mission planning, training, and taking care of Soldiers.

How are you Still Serving?

I continue to serve by donating fresh food from our family farm to support local families in need, teaching JROTC to help develop the next generation of leaders, and coaching high school rifle to instill discipline, responsibility, and safety. Now, I’m stepping forward to serve again by running for U.S. Congress, committed to advocating for veterans, families, and the communities I’ve always been proud to stand with.

Why do you do it?

I do it because I love my country and my community. I believe a life spent serving others is a life worth living.
