I stand before you today as that son of an educator and a soldier, two people who instilled in me the values of service, sacrifice, and community. These values are deeply rooted in who I am and in the vision I have for Arkansas.

Throughout my life, I have witnessed the remarkable strength, resilience, and potential of our great state. I grew up in a quiet corner of West Pulaski County, which transformed into a thriving suburb of central Little Rock. Yet as I traveled and served, I saw a deeper truth: while some communities have flourished, many others across Arkansas are still waiting for their chance to prosper.

After serving our country in Iraq, I returned home with a renewed sense of purpose. I saw communities in need of leadership, someone with vision, someone with a voice, and someone willing to work relentlessly to expand opportunity for every Arkansan. I knew it was my calling to step forward and dedicate my time, my talents, and my passion to public service. And that is exactly what I have done.

I have been honored to serve and lead in many capacities:

• As a Commissioner on the City of Little Rock Planning Commission, shaping the future of our communities.

• As Chairperson of the NAACP Little Rock Political Action Committee, I stand up for equity and justice.

• As Financial Secretary, then President of the West Central Neighborhood Association, strengthening the bonds of our neighborhoods.

• As a Class Leader in Leadership Greater Little Rock, Class XXXVIII, I work alongside leaders committed to advancing the city of Little Rock and our state.

• As a graduate of Leadership Arkansas, Class XIX, committed to making Arkansas a better place to live and work, and understanding economic development, education, agriculture, workforce development, and tourism.  

• As a current Elected Justice of the Peace, Pulaski County Quorum Court, serving as the legislative body of Pulaski County, in service to the people of District 5. 

Now, I am ready to take the next step and serve as your representative in the Arkansas State House.

As your State Representative, I will work every day to ensure Arkansas is a place where every family can thrive. Whether it’s advancing education, improving infrastructure, strengthening public safety, expanding economic opportunities, or investing in our youth, I will approach every challenge with focus, determination, and a deep commitment to service.

I see not just what Arkansas is, but what Arkansas can be. And I firmly believe our best days are ahead of us.

But no meaningful change is made alone.

That’s why I am asking for your support, your voice, and your partnership in this journey. Together, we can build an Arkansas that reflects the best of who we are and the limitless potential of who we can become.

The road ahead starts today. The future is ours to shape. Let’s get to work..
