For 21 years, I served this country as a Naval Officer and F/A-18 pilot. My service to this country was guided by one question: What’s the mission? The answer always demanded clarity, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to bring every team member home safely.

Now, my mission is here at home. I’m a father, business owner, and veteran who believes the people of VA-01 deserve representation grounded in real-world experience and accountability — someone who will work as hard for our communities as I did for our country.

I know what it’s like to be left behind. I grew up in a single-parent household on welfare and Medicaid. I’ve seen families struggle under rules designed for the wealthy and well-connected. That’s why I’m running — to fight for everyday people, to challenge a system that’s rigged against them, and to deliver results that matter.
