Curry County Comes First. Always.

Before I became a candidate, I was a deputy, wildland firefighter, emergency manager, coach, and Little League volunteer. I am a devoted husband and father to five amazing kids.

Like many families in Curry County, my family and I care deeply about the future of our community. We want safe neighborhoods, opportunities for our children, a strong local economy, and a county government that listens to the people it serves.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of serving others during some of their most challenging moments. Whether responding to emergencies, helping neighbors through difficult situations, coaching young athletes, or volunteering in our community, I have learned that the best leaders start by listening.

For the past five years, I have served as President of Gold Beach Little League and as an OSAA sports official, working alongside families, volunteers, and student-athletes. Those experiences have reinforced what I've always believed: strong communities are built when people come together, support one another, and have a voice in shaping the future.

That is why I am running for Curry County Commissioner.

I believe county government should be accessible, transparent, and accountable to the people it serves. Residents deserve to be informed, included, and heard on the decisions that affect their families, businesses, and communities.

I am not a career politician. I am a husband, father, volunteer, and community member who believes Curry County's greatest strength is its people. My commitment is simple: listen first, lead with integrity, and always put Curry County first.

My priorities are: 

• Protect public safety—government’s first duty
• Support law enforcement and first responders 
• Ensure transparent, accountable county government 
• Budget responsibly without raising taxes 
• Support timber, fishing, and tourism as the backbone of our economy 
• Protect our coastline from over-industrialization 
• Defend our constitutional and second amendment rights 
• Support veterans and service members 
• Work toward real solutions for homelessness focusing on giving a hand up, not handouts

These priorities are not slogans. They reflect what I have lived and what I will fight for on the Board of Commissioners — practical leadership that serves every resident, regardless of party.
