"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." - Thomas Jefferson

MORE prosperity and economic opportunity – for all
MORE freedom from government snooping, interference and control
MORE opportunities in education through parental choice & local control
MORE of our earnings kept by those who earn it
MORE safety on our highways and security in our neighborhoods
MORE defense of family and community values
MORE opportunity to hunt, fish and recreate in our beautiful state

As a resident of Gallatin County since 1991, and a homeowner in Gallatin Gateway since 1996, I have a fervent love for the pristine beauty of God’s Creation in this magnificent corner of Big Sky Country. As a hunter, a fisherman, skier, hiker and windsurfer, I frequently make the most of it! As a man who has designed and built his own log home with the help of friends and family, I strongly believe in the American dream that each of us should have the right and the opportunity to pursue his or her own destiny. Unfortunately, such opportunities seemingly grow fewer with each passing year as our personal liberties and free market opportunities are further restricted. My goal as a future state legislator is to change that. What we need is a government that is better, not bigger. A government that respects our freedoms, defends our families, and provides excellence in the essential services it is constitutionally required to deliver. I pledge to work tirelessly in behalf of these goals, and to represent the people of House District 70 with dignity, integrity and honor.

In my professional experience in sales and the construction trade here in the 70th District of Montana, I believe Montanans want to enjoy:

• Self-determination as people in pursuit of the Common Good.

• Support of Pro-life and pro-family initiatives that provide the essential fabric for all community life.

• Principle of Subsidiarity that allows decisions to be made at the lowest level possible by those who will be most directly affected by those decisions.

• Property and income tax relief offered by a stronger business and economic environment, which would include tax incentives for small business owners.

• Greater opportunities to utilize the natural resources at their disposal including Montana's extensive coal and oil reserves.

• Greater opportunities to educate their children in schools of their choice – public, private, or at home.

• The heritage of great hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation in Montana, and the right to bear arms in accordance with the 2nd Amendment.

• Legislators that believe only in the principle of compromise, not the compromise of principle.

• The opportunity to work together to make sure Montana remains the great freedom-loving state of those who established it through their hard-work and perseverance!
