A New Generation Speaking for the Future
I have lived in Missouri since 2017, and most importantly, this is where my four young children call home. My wife and I are building our lives and our small business here – literally constructing our first building in Liberty as part of our growing company. Missouri isn’t just where I live; it’s where I’m invested in the future, for my family, and for everyone in the 6th District.
A Missouri Mindset
Missouri has played a key role in American history, from its place in Westward Expansion to its deep-rooted values of hard work, resilience, independence, and patriotism. I love living in a state where people believe in personal responsibility, taking care of their neighbors, and expecting results. The “Show Me” mindset is real. Missourians want action and accountability. As a father and business owner, I appreciate the opportunities this state provides to build a future, raise a family, and contribute to something much greater than myself. My hope is that together we can protect these values, honor our history, and make Missouri an even better place for current and future generations. You have this power in many ways, but the most important one is to vote in 2026. I don’t make empty promises, so please know that when I say I will show up for you, it will happen every day, every chance I get.
Listening to the People
I was born and raised in Harrisonburg, Virginia, but my journey has taken me across the country, shaping my perspective and strengthening my resolve to serve from my experiences interacting with diverse communities by choice and through my work as an architect in their communities, getting input on their ideas, needs, and concerns. To this end, I have already traveled thousands of miles across the 6th District, from participating in community events to holding town halls. I want to engage with as many of you as possible to listen and to learn. I will continue to do this right up to the 2026 election because your voices are the ones that matter.
Qualifications
In my career, I have been fortunate enough to work as an architect on many multimillion dollar projects, from NFL stadiums to professional sports facilities and others. While this has honed the skillsets I will need and use in Congress, the most relevant is the Aloha Stadium Redevelopment Project in Honolulu, which had $350 million of state money invested, allocated by the Hawaii Legislature. While all the projects require the same skillsets, this one had more community and state involvement than some of the others. It gave me the additional experience of significant and direct community and state legislative input and inclusion both in decision-making and process.
I am the “center of the wheel” in these projects, working with community members, as well as an array of subcontractors and others to make a project successful. This takes collaboration, negotiation, conflict resolution, management skills, a creative and open-minded approach to problem-solving, and leadership. When members of Congress are involved in making decisions for their constituents, as well as many that affect the nation, all of these abilities are imperative in order to get things done.
Sadly, this is not happening in the current Republican-led Congress, and serious damage is being done to innocent and hard-working people because of it. My work experience — years of effectively utilizing these skills at a high and complicated level — will help ensure a promise that I make to you now and will not forget. What I do in Congress will always have the best interests of the people I serve as my priority.
