Who I Am

I was born and raised in Casper, WY. I went to St. Anthony’s, then Natrona County High School, and then Casper College. I furthered my academic achievements by earning an M.A. in English: Rhetoric and Composition from the University of Wyoming and an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from Montana State University, Bozeman. My career has earned me a wealth of experience in leadership across the K-12 continuum and in higher education. I am dedicated to improving our community, embracing traditional values, and creating a safe state/county. I am currently working on my Ph.D. in Learning, Design, and Technology at the University of Wyoming. I am married with two children aged 13 and 16, and I am the proud owner of a classy mini-Aussie named "Lady."

My Goals

Natrona County doesn't need a representative who shows up in Cheyenne to take orders from outside interests. It needs someone who knows this community, lives with the consequences of these decisions, and fights for the people who sent him there. These are my priorities:

​

Local Control

  • Decisions about Natrona County should be made by Natrona County — not by state agencies, federal mandates, or outside groups with money in the game

  • I oppose any legislation that strips local governments, school boards, or property owners of their authority to govern themselves

  • When Cheyenne and Casper conflict, I side with Casper

 

Public Safety

  • I support strict sentencing for violent crimes, with a focus on victim restitution — not revolving-door justice

  • I oppose civil asset forfeiture before conviction — the government shouldn't take your property before proving you did anything wrong

  • I believe in judicial accountability, especially when courts fail to protect our most vulnerable residents from predators

 

Everything Else

  • Free market economy with a simpler, broader, lower tax code

  • Wyoming's energy and natural resources are developed by Wyomingites, for Wyoming's benefit

  • Parental rights and local control in education — not top-down mandates

  • Strong borders and no sanctuary policies in Wyoming

My Service

I don't just talk about Natrona County — I show up for it. Long before this campaign, I was already at the table working on the issues that matter most to our community.

  • Juvenile Justice Board — Working to ensure young people in our county get accountability, structure, and a path forward instead of a pipeline to prison/

  • Self Help Center — Supporting access to resources for Natrona County residents who are in crisis — because help and support shouldn't depend on who you know or how much money you have.

  • Natrona County Child Protection Team — Helping coordinate the community response to child abuse and neglect — protecting the most vulnerable among us.

  • Wyoming State Soccer Association — Serving Wyoming families and youth athletes statewide through organized, community-based recreation.

My Mission

Putting Natrona County First

I believe that equity and opportunity go hand in hand. I am committed to promoting policies that level the playing field and empower all community members to succeed. Whether it's fighting for better schools, improving access to public lands, or protecting our natural resources, I put the needs of my constituents first. I believe that by working together, we can build a better future for House District 35 and all of Wyoming.
