My life experience gives him a unique perspective and a strong desire to give back to my community. My early years were rough, as my parents struggled with addictions while they were raising me and my four siblings. I spent part of my youth in foster homes and shelters.  It was often local government programs that ensured I had enough to eat.  I left school early to go to work to help support myself and my family, but returned to receive my high school diploma through the GED program. I have and still am deeply involved with my community and my church. As a teen I served as a volunteer firefighter and was proactive in outreach programs that help people get the resources they need to help them overcome life’s challenges.

I want to listen to people in the 99th District and help pave the way toward a brighter future by focusing on economic growth. I want to work on lowering or eliminating property taxes in ways that do not hurt the already struggling middle class and those who already find themselves in economic distress. I want to ensure the growth and protection of our agricultural community. In Harrisburg, I will be a strong advocate for any legislation defending the right to have affordable food and healthcare. I understand the struggles that families face and want to go to Harrisburg to represent everyone in the 99th District and work to solve problems and bring growth and prosperity to our area.
