I have enjoyed an amazing life in St. Louis County and look forward to maintaining this quality of life for future generations. I grew up in Shrewsbury as the youngest of four children. I attended Affton Public Schools, Cure of Ars Catholic Parish, and St. Michael's for CYC sports. I then attended SLUH for high school and DePaul University in Chicago where I graduated with a degree in Finance. I married my beautiful wife, Erin, in 2010 and we have four incredible children Vivian, Hazel, Olive, and George. We currently live in and love our community of Sappington. We spend a lot of our free time carting kids around to various activities, at family events, or swimming. In between work and our busy schedule I volunteer at our parish, St. Catherine Laboure, with our men's club and as a lector for mass. I have also volunteered with Mission St. Louis whose vision is to empower individuals for social and economic growth through relationships and opportunity to break the cycle of poverty in our communities. As mentioned, I have four small children and my income-earning years ahead of me. I have a lot of skin in the game and have not been happy lately with the direction of politics and society. I am running for this seat to make a positive change for our families and community.
- Having the benefit of a robust professional life places me in an advantageous position as a future legislator. Coupled with my volunteer work, I have gained the skills necessary to serve others, while keeping colleagues motivated to achieve shared goals. Effective leaders share the same skills as effective legislators. Both depend on the ability to communicate an objective to people who don't always share the same viewpoint, and both know how to inspire and bring the best out of those whose support they need to achieve those objectives.
- It is important for younger generations to be involved in local democracy. At my age I have the ability to bridge the communication between generations and build positive consensus. There is also hope that I inspire more from my generation and younger to become involved in upholding conservative values in their community.
- I have skin in the game and am in the thick of it. I will work every day for working families across the state and in my district because I am one of those families. I first hand understand your concerns and visions.
I believe a strong economy solves a number of concerns. Our GDP and population growth has been rather flat. In order to create a vibrant economy, we need more opportunities, an educated workforce, lower taxes/regulations, and lower crime. I am passionate about economic development, education reform, tax reform, and criminal justice reform.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
