Who I Am

The biggest problems we face in our state and our nation come from within. The people of our great state are growing tired of the status quo. Often, when it comes time to vote, they are stuck with the same old thing.

Not anymore. I am breaking that mold.

Experience

I have lived in 6 different states, spent time in Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Guatemala, Italy, Britain, France, and Belize. I have seen real poverty, failed governments, and people struggling to be free from tyranny. I served as a cop in the Air Force, I managed two different departments at a well known sporting goods store, student taught at the Montana Youth Challenge Academy, and I am now a tenured Social Studies teacher at St. Regis Middle School/High School. I have been teaching in St. Regis for 8 years now and I love it. It is the best job I have ever had. I have also spent many of those years at St. Regis coaching basketball.

Interest and Hobbies

Now that I have two boys (ages: 4 and 3) I am pretty occupied with teaching them how to be men, leading my family, and spending time with my beautiful wife.

Aside from the family, I love to ponder the deeper questions of life, to hunt, fish, backpack, fix things, restore things, read, write, shoot, reload, run, workout, build, garden, learn, help others, teach, coach, debate, play guitar, mill lumber, cook on cast iron, and attend our homegrown bible study.

I was an Honor Graduate of Basic Training and a Distinguished Graduate from my Security Forces Technical School while in the military. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Montana Western and hold a Bachelor of Arts in Modern History and Secondary Education along with a Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governor’s University. While teaching, I was selected as one of the top 4 finalists in the state running for Montana’s teacher of the year in 2021 and in 2025 I recieved the Montana History Teacher of the Year Award.

.

I am not a politician. I am a servant of God and the people, driven by the call to protect us and our posterity from tyranny and the monster that is big government.

I Am Unashamed To Declare That…

  • Mainstream politics must go.
  • The Bill of Rights must be upheld.
  • The government serves us, not the other way around.
  • Montana and its constitution must be defended.
  • Life starts at conception and must be protected.
  • Lumber should be affordable and both harvested and milled in Montana.
  • Energy should be cheap and produced in Montana. 
  • Minerals should be mined ethically and responsibly in Montana.
  • Our state should partner with other states to hold the federal government accountable.
  • The 2nd Amendment must be protected.

Issues Facing Our State and Nation

  • Rising property taxes

-The median Montana residential property owner paid about 21% more on their taxes in the last 2 years with typical increases ranging between 11% and 35%, according to a Montana Free Press analysis of revenue department data.

  • Increasing size of government and its spending

-Our State Government has added additional taxes once again, and is continuing to increase its size.

  • Fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer money:
    • Federal Level:

-Senator Rand Paul’s most recent Festivus Report highlighted $900,000,000,000 of waste, including an NIH grant to study Russian cats walking on a treadmill, millions to Dr. Fauci’s NIH monkey farm, millions going to promote tourism in Egypt, $200 million to ‘struggling artists’ like Post Malone, Chris Brown, and Lil Wayne, and millions to study black and yellow labrador retrievers getting hot on walks in the summer, just to name a few…

  • State Level:

-The State of Montana Generated a surplus of tax dollars in 2023. To be specific, 2.5 billion dollars more than “normal,” according to the government’s own records. And wouldn’t you know it, many in congress felt the need to create new bills to help spend our tax money. To be fair, some voices in our legislature demanded that money be given back to the taxpayer. But many looked for ways to spend it, according to Montana Free Press.

  • Inflation

-According to the Mises Institute, from 2020 to 2022, the Federal Reserve increased its balance sheet from $4 trillion to nearly $9 trillion. Our federal government oversaw this and that is why we are facing incredible inflation problems.

  • Education

-According to the Annenberg Constitution Day Civics Survey, nearly 1/3 of Americans cannot name all three branches of our government. Likewise, only 5% of the U.S. adults surveyed correctly name all five First Amendment rights. If you don’t know what your rights are, how would you know if someone violated them?
