• From 1996 to 2012 I served for eight Republican legislators at the Georgia State Capitol as a legislative aide, being a part of flipping the state red after it had been dominated by Democrats since Reconstruction after the Civil War (or “War Between the States”).
• Having graduated with a juris doctorate, I presently work professionally as a financial advisor and insurance agent, helping people in the community prepare for and manage their retirement.
• I have been a resident of Cobb County most of my life since 1989. I spent five years in San Antonio, Texas ("Remember the Alamo!") during college and an internship, and am not ashamed of the some of the rugged southwestern culture I absorbed from the Lone Star State.
• My historical politcal heroes from the last century include Ronald Reagan, Larry McDonald, Calvin Coolidge, Barry Goldwater, Ron Paul, Howard Phillips, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas.
