Arizona's Future—And My Duty to You

Arizona stands at a unique crossroads. We are a frontier state with a pioneering spirit, yet we are also central to America's most critical conversations about technology, resources, and growth. The decisions we make today will shape not just our future, but the nation's.

I'm running for State Senate to ensure that future is built by and for Arizonans. My diverse background has given me the exact skills needed to take on this challenge.

Strategic skills
As a former intelligence collector in the U.S. Army, I served for nine years with two combat deployments to Iraq. That experience taught me how to understand complex systems, identify root causes of conflict, and most importantly, how to foster dialogue and find a path forward in even the most fractured environments. I will use that same strategic perspective in Phoenix to ease economic pressures and heal our civic divisions.

Technical Insight
As a University of Arizona informatics graduate and a software developer for over a decade, I speak the language of the tech industry. I have the expertise to see past the slick sales pitches of large corporations. I will ensure that when tech comes to Arizona, it serves our communities—providing good jobs and sustainable growth, not just extracting our resources and tax dollars.

Business Acumen
For nearly 15 years, I've run a small business and faced the brutal odds stacked against independents. I know the struggle against massive chains, predatory lenders, and a system that often favors the powerful. I will fight for pro-competition policies that give local entrepreneurs a real chance to succeed, because our local economies are the heart of our communities.

My Pledge to You
As your State Senator, I will deploy every skill I have to:

  • Reform and hold our political system accountable.

  • Protect the rights of Arizonans to live in peace and prosperity.

  • Build a sustainable, resilient future for this generation and the next.

This isn't just a campaign; it's a commitment to use my unique experience to fight for you.
