I am a veteran, small business owner, and public servant in Ohio. I am a strong principled conservative who holds the values of God, Family, and Country most dear. I express these values through my advocacy of faith, family, and freedom through grassroots organization, training, and seminars on faith's engagement in politics. I have developed a philosophy of being relational and not transactional as a pathway to better community building and I utilize this in Sales, Marketing, and Leadership development. I currently reside in Shelby, Ohio with my wife Mandi (of 20 years) and our eleven children.I graduated from Lee University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (2003) and a Masters in Teaching History and Government (2004). I served in Iraq from November of 2004 to November of 2005 with the 1/278th ACR Tennessee Army National Guard. While in Iraq, I served as our Battalion Casualty Operations Officer, Strength Accountability, and helped train two Iraqi Battalions in personnel operations. While in Iraq, I developed a grassroots operations system and have helped consult on grassroots techniques with several campaigns/organizations notably the RNC, Chuck DeVore for Senate, and the Health Care Compact. I firmly believe in campaign ground operations as a supreme tool of civic involvement.Specialties: Teaching, consulting, speechwriting, grassroots management and development.
