I am a teacher. who has taught high school chemistry and physics for 32 years. I earned my BSED from the University of Missouri and earned my Masters in Analytical Chemistry from Pittsburg State University. I am married to my wife of 35 years, Sarah and I have four children, Caleb, Joshua, Naomi, and Anna and 3 grandchildren. I am a Christian and serve as an Elder and Sunday School teacher at Timberlake Christian Church in Moberly, Missouri. I am one hundred percent pro-life and I am endorsed by the Missouri Right to Life. I am a strong advocate for the 2nd Amendment and I am endorsed by the NRA.
I have lived in Missouri all of my life and I want to serve rural Missouri as a common sense, Christian, conservative voice in Jefferson City.
- I am a strong believer in education and I want to support public, private and homeschool educators and students in any way I can.
- I will work to protect mid-Missouri rural values and way of life.
- I will work to ensure we open our state and counties to return to a strong economy and in-person education.
I am passionate about education. I want Missouri to stop being at the bottom in many statistical categories in terms of education. Education is the key to young people's future. Whether it be to join the military and get training through the military or technical training at a community college or technical school or whether it is at a four-year college or university. I hope to serve on the education committee and perhaps the utilities committee. I want to encourage energy production in Missouri to continue to have inexpensive energy for growth and economic development.
I am a follower of Christ and their are many Christian leaders who I look up to.
My web page has my campaign platform and I have also answered some 40 questions posed by a constituent in the district.
Integrity, honesty and the willingness to represent the people in their district.
I am an analytical person who is able to look at information and analyze facts and figures and get to the root of a problem quickly.
Represent your district and do no harm.
I hope to have represented my constituents well and not done anything to disgrace myself, my family and my district.
I remember the landing of men on the moon and I was 5 years old.
My first job was working on roofing and painting jobs with my father. I also worked for a carpet cleaning company in St. Joseph when I was in high school and also at a fast food chain.
I actually enjoyed JRR Tolkien's works. I enjoy Tom Clancy, Tony Hillerman, and Louis Lamour books.
The general assembly is closer to the people since we only represent 37000 people and can know our district and be accessible to them much easier. The Senate must be elected by much larger populations and may make them a more moderate body and can slow the process of legislation.
I think it can be beneficial but I believe that we need citizen legislators especially in the house. I think it is more important for legislators to have a lot of life experience to draw on to help them relate to their constituents and understand the effect of legislation they might write.
Providing reasonable cost health care to all areas of the state.
Providing the best education in the nation to our constituents.
Enabling broadband Internet access to all areas and especially rural areas to help with economic activity and educational equality.
The governor should have a good working relationship with the legislature. It should be friendly and cordial and it should not adversarial.
Absolutely. It is not possible for a legislator to get anything passed by themselves. We need for legislators to work together and especially across party lines to improve Missouri.
I favor a bipartisan commission of an even number of Republicans and Democrats. I believe that the criteria for districts should always be compact, contiguous logical districts following reasonable boundaries with as nearly equal population per district as possible. I believe we should not look at any data about voting preference of the people in districts so as not to include partisan data into the planning of districts.
Education, Utilities and Natural Resources.
I will have to wait and see if I will be someone who seeks leadership within the legislature.
I think my predecessor, Tim Remole, was a great representative for our district. I also think Chuck Basye and Louis Riggs have passed important legislation that has improved Missouri and I will look to them for help to do the same.
I will not rule it out but I have no plans at the present time.
I have heard many stories of people whose loved ones have been locked away in a nursing home due to covid and have not been able to interact with their loved ones and not been able to advocate for their loved ones.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
