Hope for Ohio

A New Battle for the Battleground State

Ohio has long been known as the Battleground State, and I believe it is once again in a critical fight—this time to defend the people, values, and future of our state. My family’s roots in Ohio date back to 1818, with deep ties to Seneca County that continue today. Growing up surrounded by multiple generations taught me the importance of wisdom, faith, hard work, and community—values that still guide me today.


Rooted in Ohio, Tested by Experience

After graduating from high school, I earned degrees in International Studies and Aviation Technology, met my wife Emily, and trained as a professional pilot. Like many families, we were impacted by the 2008 recession. That journey led us to Arizona, where I built a successful small business and gained real-world experience that strengthened my commitment to honest leadership.


Putting “We the People” First

In 2022, we felt called to return home to Ohio. As a business owner and community member, I have seen the urgent need for transparency, accountability, and leadership that serves people—not corporations. My priorities include restoring election integrity through paper ballots with watermark encryption protections, protecting farmers and homeowners, increasing transparency in tax revenue and school funding, improving food safety standards, ban digital IDs and digital driver's licenses, and defending Ohio’s rural land from being ruined by AI Data Centers.


Faith, Freedom, and Ohio’s Future

I will always stand for conservative Christian values, constitutional freedoms, and the God-given rights of Ohioans. This is a defining moment for our state, and I am committed to fighting for a stronger Ohio—now and for generations to come.
