Community Minded Values

As a young child I was able to witness members of my family and church serve and give of themselves to make an impact in our community. I have continued to try to maintain those same values in my adult life through volunteer service and teach my children the importance of the same.  

I am a veteran of the US Army and live and own a business in Ozark with my wife and three daughters.

I have been very involved in the city of Ozark serving as both past Mayor and Alderman.

I have also been very focused over the years on community service and involvement.  I have served on the Board of Directors of the Christian County Family Crisis Center,  Board of Directors of the Ozark Chamber of Commerce and the Historic River District Main Street Organization in Ozark. I am the creator and chairman of the annual Downtown Ozark Trunk or Treat and the annual Run With the Cops 5K in Ozark. I have also had the privilege of serving as President and Chairman Of The Board of  Christian County Children's Charities Sertoma and continue to serve as the chairman of the Sertoma Duck Race Festival, the largest event in Christian County that raises funds for local charities serving Christian County children.

 Citizen driven leadership is when your elected officials frequently seek out your views and opinions and then represent your voice in the public forums.

 All too often we have elected individuals that do not seek our thoughts and opinions, but instead tell us what is best for us and our communities.

I welcome you to call me any time or set up a time to meet and I would love to talk with you.

 I want to be your voice on county issues and represent you with a passion that hasn't been seen in quite some time. Your voice is important and I want to connect you to your county government.

What is a constitutional conservative?

I believe in conserving the values of the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence. 

 I am 

• Pro communication

• Pro transparency

• Pro citizen involved government

• Pro individual rights

• Pro small government 

• Pro capitalism

• Pro second amendment

I believe a small government's roles are public safety (law enforcement) and public infrastructure such as roads. 

Other than these basic public needs I feel we all have the right to live and work as we choose without government interference so long as we are not infringing on anyone else's rights.
