The Vision: Principles Without the Spectacle

Colorado needs a representative who is more interested in fixing problems than making headlines. We need leadership that is not only conservative but rooted in moral character.

I am not a career politician. I am a husband and a father of five who believes that a leader’s most important asset is their integrity. I’m running for House District 4 because I want to build a future that our children can be proud of.

The Roots: From the Farm to the Lab

The Value of Hard Work
I was raised in Southeast Idaho in a potato-farming family. My father taught me the values of hard work and dedication long before I entered the professional world. Waking up in the early morning to move irrigation pipes is an experience that stays with you; it taught me that success is never given—it is earned through effort and persistence.

The Engineer’s Mindset
Growing up on a farm, I was always fascinated by how things worked. I spent my time watching machinery to understand what it did and how. That drive to learn led me to earn a degree in Computer Engineering. Today, I am a part-owner of a Test Engineering company, where I lead the software architecture for a team of engineers.

In engineering, especially test engineering, you can’t "spin" a failure. You have to get to the bottom of why something isn't working and find the right way to fix it. I want to bring that same diagnostic, results-oriented approach to a broken Washington.

This becomes increasingly important with the rise of AI. It's here to stay, and it will be transformative. Having an understanding of how computers work, how AI works, can go a far way in creating the necessary bills and protections for the American people.

Family: My Greatest Accomplishment


While in college, I was blessed to marry my wife, Alexis. This November, we celebrate 10 years of marriage. We have been blessed with five children, ranging from seven years old down to three months.

They are the greatest accomplishment of my life. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child grow, and nothing more motivating than the desire to ensure they have the same opportunities—and the same freedoms—that I had.

Why I’m Running: Restoring Accountability

I’m running because Lauren Boebert is no longer the right person to represent this district. We can fight for conservative values without sacrificing our dignity.

Our nation is at a breaking point. Families are being torn apart by political division, and "normal life" is becoming increasingly difficult. From the skyrocketing cost of housing to politicians who enrich themselves at the expense of taxpayers, enough is enough.

My Commitment to You:

  • Presence: I will hold town halls and face the people I represent. I won't hide from the tough questions.

  • Integrity: I will be a representative with the moral courage to push back when things are wrong, even if it means standing against my own party.

  • Perspective: I come from a normal life, working a normal job, raising a family in the real world. I know what you are experiencing because I’m living it too.

Colorado deserves a representative who wants to build a bright future for everyone, not just for their own brand. I am ready to be that person.
