​
When hard work isn’t enough to build a stable & dignified life in the community we grew up in - something has to give.
I'm ready to stand up against the closed-door deals, corporate special interests and diehard partisan politics pricing us out of a future. It's time to bring our Government back to the people this November 3rd, 2026.
​
I'm a 34-year-old working-class father & proud eighth-generation Kentuckian fighting for a home every family can build a future in.

The Actual Haps of Shelby County, Kentucky
Healthcare
Our local hospital has been operating at a loss of $4 million a year since 2021.
From July to Nov. 2025, has lost more than $3 million - All while the average cost of health insurance sits around 15% of our median household income and rising. Y'all, that's not going to work. Access is trending in the wrong direction only going to shrink and we need to act, now.
Education
We can't grow as a community if our schools can't handle more students. AI & automation are changing life as we know it and we need to focus on supporting our educators, preparing our workforce and securing access for every child. That means a robust public school system with resources matching today’s economy & operations costs - not yesterday’s talking points.
Cost of Living
The bottom line is we're pricing our kids out of a future and the cost for basic is dramatically outpacing pay raises. Since 2020, Federal Reserve Economic Data shows typical home prices in Shelby County have increased by more than 43% .Grocery prices have risen by roughly 28% and healthcare costs up to 15% of median household income (if you're healthy). Meanwhile - wages are flat with only an increase of 1-2%.
Transparent Government
Our Government belongs to the people, not a select few. Somehow we've strayed from that and I'm ready to make sure folks have a say in how Shelby County grows. We have a rich heritage, proud traditions and family values that don't need to be sacrificed to thrive in today's economy. We just need to be innovative, proactive and community focused. We need fresh perspectives from leaders who aren't immune to the impacts of their decisions. I don't accept corporate PAC money, contributions from developers or commercial interests and I won't stop fighting for legislation that puts quality of life for everyday people and an obtainable future generations as the top priority.
