Bio

That is Why I am Running. To do the right thing, to fight for Our County and Our Communities. To stand up against the never-ending attacks on Our Constitutional Rights and Our Personal Freedoms. Like my forefathers in WW1 and WW2, and like my father who fought the multi-million dollar special interest groups so that high school students maintained their Right to Pray. It is time for me to step-up and fight the good fight like my fathers before me. I have degrees in- BS in Corporate Finance with a minor in Accounting from Clemson University, MBA Masters in Business Administration from Clemson University, and JD Juris Doctorate from the University of South Carolina School of Law (Please see my LinkedIn profile for more detailed information.) And have worked jobs from chicken houses to financial wealth management and criminal prosecution. I have experience in business creation , management, law enforcement, and private practice. My considerable experience shares 1 common thread - I am always fighting for people. My education and experience has refined those skills and I now volunteer myself to work for you. To fight for you at the State level against a Government that must be kept in check and held accountable to its actions. These last 4 years have seen unthinkable things and terrible policy decisions made by the entrenched politicians. As a Conservative Republican, I'm deeply concerned about the direction we're heading. Misguided policies, attacks on the traditional values we share, erosion of Constitutional rights and disregard for our cherished liberties - the need for change is evident. As a criminal prosecutor in Lexington County, I witnessed the devastating impact of crime on individuals, families, and communities. I've seen the scourge of dangerous drugs brought across the border right here in Lexington. We need common sense leadership that backs law enforcement, prioritizes infrastructure before growth, provides workforce development that promotes prosperity, and safeguards the traditional values that make Lexington County great. With my wife and I expecting our first child, Our prayers have finally been answered. With a baby on the way, the stakes for me are personally higher than ever. I'm running to safeguard the freedoms and rights we cherish today for the sake of our unborn child and all future generations.
