My Story
I’ve spent my entire life in service, first to my country in the U.S. Army, and later to my community as a police officer, police chief, and substitute teacher for the Little Falls School District. Over more than 30 years in public safety, I’ve led officers, managed multi-million-dollar budgets, trained future leaders, and worked hand in hand with schools, families, and local organizations to keep our communities safe.
Faith, family, and hard work have always been at the center of my life. My wife and I chose to make our home here because of the strong communities, traditional values, and rural way of life that make central Minnesota such a special place.
Whether it’s working with farmers, supporting small businesses, or helping parents and kids in the schools, I’ve always believed in putting people first.
Why I'm Running
I’m running for the Minnesota House because I believe we need leaders who will put people before politics and bring integrity back to St. Paul. Families in our district are struggling with rising costs, crime is on the rise, and too many of our schools are distracted by politics instead of teaching kids the basics: reading, writing, and math.
I want to change that. If elected, I will:
- Fight to support and fully fund law enforcement while keeping School Resource Officers in our schools.
- Defend the Second Amendment and the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
- Protect life and stand for pro-family, traditional values.
- Empower parents to make the best choices for their children’s education and expand school choice.
- Stop fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer dollars so families can keep more of their hard-earned paychecks.
For me, this campaign is simply a continuation of a lifetime of service. I’ve worn the uniform to defend this country and to protect our communities, and now I’m ready to stand up for you at the Capitol. Together, we can defend our values, strengthen our families, and secure a brighter future for rural Minnesota.
