| I have eight children with my wife Wendi. We run a small family farm near Fort Ransom and I currently work for a local construction company. Living in North Dakota has afforded us incredible benefits from the personal values, work ethic, and sense of community that is unique to our state. We are grateful for the opportunities to work hard and enjoy the fruits of our labor, as well as help to afford the same opportunities for others.
I am a retired disabled veteran, having served in the active US Army & Army Reserves for 12 years. The same oath I swore in the military, I have kept throughout all of my public service. I hold a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with cognates in Accounting and Religion. I went on to earn a Master's in Public Policy & Public Administration.
In 2016, I was elected to serve the people of District 24 in the ND State House. As a legislator, I have successfully sponsored numerous pieces of legislation that benefit the people of North Dakota. My philosophy - the government that operates within constitutional parameters is by design the government that governs least, and so affords its citizens the most opportunity for economic and social happiness. |
