Let me introduce myself.

I grew up right here in Central Florida with my family. As a young man, I made the decision to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. Through deployments across the globe, I witnessed firsthand the vital importance of the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. When it came time to retire, there was no doubt in my mind - I was coming back home to Florida.

Now, I'm proud to call Plant City home, where I live with my wife and our three children. Witnessing the struggling state of our schools prompted me to delve into how things had reached this point. It turns out, education was just the tip of the iceberg. In numerous aspects, Florida has fallen behind. A common thread emerges - political grandstanding from unresponsive representatives in Tallahassee, deflecting responsibility through excuses or finger-pointing, all while failing to deliver meaningful results.

That's why I'm committed to a different approach: representatives who take ownership of their actions, prioritize our community, and staunchly defend our fundamental liberties.
