From the classroom to small business, from Bedford Township to Lansing, my approach has stayed the same: listen, take responsibility, and do the work.

Four priorities, with the actions and public records behind them.

Family comes first.
Bedford is home. It’s where I grew up, where I’m raising my family, and where we’re building our life together.
Being a husband and a father is the most important part of my story. I got involved in public service to help shape a better future for my children.
My story
Teaching, business,
and community.
Before public service, I worked as a social studies teacher and owned a Snap Fitness in Dundee. Those experiences taught me to listen, work through problems, and take responsibility for the people counting on me.
I’m a graduate of the University of Mount Union, where I earned a degree in religious studies with a minor in philosophy and competed in football and track.
