I grew up on a small farm in Syracuse Utah, where I learned about faith, family and hard work. I was raised with Christian values; following the example of Jesus Christ has ingrained in me the principles of integrity, honesty, and a love for others.
After marrying my High School sweetheart, we embarked on raising a family. My wife and I have 3 children and 5 grandchildren which I adore. We have a strong family bond that will pull us through anything.
I started working straight out of High School and was working my way through college at Weber State University where I was working on a degree in Criminal Justice. As I continued moving up in the job I had, it led to leadership positions, and I continued to grow with the company. I continued to move up in the company and moved several times to create better running and more efficient stores. Learning to control spending and create profitability was the value that the company saw in me. I eventually found myself controlling 10 stores in Tri Cities, WA that stretched from there into Lewiston, ID. In 2012, I was offered an opportunity to purchase my own two stores in Moscow, ID and Pullman, WA.
After much prayer and consideration, my wife and I decided to take the offer and we moved to Moscow where we have made our home. Since 2013, we have grown to 6 stores and continue to find success. The community welcomed us in with open arms and we have felt so loved here. I returned to school in 2016 to learn more about business and entrepreneurship.
I graduated from Brigham Young University – Idaho in 2022 while in my second year as a state legislator and still running my business. I have always believed in lifelong learning and will continue to do so.
I was elected in 2020 to my first term and then re-elected for a second term in 2022 as State Legislator in the Idaho State House of Representatives where I was able to accomplish many things for the people of Idaho and for district 6. I continue to fight for things that are right and would benefit our great state.
