Relevant experience: For over a decade I have built and managed successful small businesses such as Home Cafe and Hickory & Oak in my hometown of Bowling Green. I want to use that experience to make sure our county continues to be a place for all residents to thrive.

What is your platform? We have real problems. Warren County is the brink of a housing epidemic. Affordable housing is out the window. We have been under-funding our public services leaving our Sheriff’s Office and other services underpaid and short staffed. And as tornado relief dollars roll in from all levels, how are we allocating those funds? How do we make sure those dollars have the largest impact in our community and directly affect private citizens?As a local entrepreneur for over a decade I have experience operating on razor thin margins. Our county government needs to be conservative in its spending to make sure we do put more financial burden on citizens, but we must also be aggressive to keep up with Warren County’s unprecedented growth. This takes a delicate balancing act by a leader who is creative in management and willing to think outside the box.

I’ve called Warren County home since my family moved here in 1991. My wife and I have made significant investments in our community. We just welcomed our first daughter, and I want to make sure her Warren County is just as incredibly as my. We need a leader who understands the past, present, and future.
