About

Raised in a devoutly Catholic family, I am the eldest of 6 children and thoroughly understand the hard work and sacrifices that goes into raising a family. Before deciding to start a family of my own, I served 4 years in the Marine Corps. In 2021 I was entrusted to serve as a tax preparer for my fellow service members. I gained invaluable experience with taxes as I diligently analyzed over 300 returns, combing through their earnings to ensure my fellow service members got every dollar back that they could.

​

Today, I work as a service technician on industrial engines. My wife, Katrina, and I have a one year old son and another baby on the way. I'm running to work hard for my family and for yours. America needs strong families-taxes and inflation are currently overburdening them. My priority in Des Moines would be to work for solutions for Iowa's families.

​

It would be my honor to represent you in our statehouse. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "I do not boast that God is on my side, I humbly pray that I am on God's side."

​

Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.

​

In God We Trust,
