I’m proud to have the support of leaders who have spent their lives serving South Dakota with integrity, intelligence, and purpose.

Congratulations to the latest graduating class of Leadership Sioux Falls, including my wife, Kate.

As a husband, father, community leader, and mid-career professional, I’m in the sweet spot of life. That perspective matters, and I believe it’s exactly what’s needed in Pierre.

The funny thing about “grown up politics” (increasingly hard to find) is that silly pizza promises never really go away; politicians just dress them up in flashier agendas and cherry-picked talking points.

After a great deal of thought and encouragement, I am running as a Republican candidate for the South Dakota House of Representatives in District 13.

“We need more good people to run” is a sentiment in our politics with enduring resonance. This has been reinforced in nearly every conversation had with folks in and around our district. We must do better, and I intend to do better.

Petitions are submitted, and I’m officially running as a Republican candidate for South Dakota House District 13.
