I was born and raised in Texas, and my deep roots here inspire my commitment to building a better future for our state.  I'm here to bring fresh ideas and meaningful change to Texas politics. With over two decades of experience in horticulture and a firm belief in the many benefits of cannabis, I am committed to responsibly legalizing and regulating it across our state—supporting economic growth, improving healthcare, and expanding personal freedoms.

​

At the heart of my campaign is a fight to reform our broken criminal justice system and challenge the status quo. I believe Texas deserves leadership that is brave enough to listen, innovate, and stand up for what’s right.

​

As a Christian and a dedicated family man—proud husband and father—I hold steadfast to my core values of integrity, community, and service. I am a proud Republican, committed to advancing policies rooted in responsibility, free enterprise, and individual liberty.

​

My goal is simple: to keep Cultivating A Better Texasbuilding a future where responsibility, progress, and fairness work together for everyone.

​

Let’s work together to disrupt politics and create a brighter, more free Texas.

Cultivating A Better Texas: A Vision for Progress and Inclusion

As a Mellinnial, I believe Texas can become a safer, more prosperous, and inclusive state by blending our rich traditions with innovative ideas. My vision is to build a Texas where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

​

Legalizing and Regulating Cannabis:
I support responsibly legalizing recreational cannabis for adults and expanding our medicinal cannabis program. This will create new jobs, generate revenue, and support our farmers and local businesses. Proper regulation will keep our communities safe. Additionally, legal cannabis can boost tourism attracting visitors from around the world and creating new economic opportunities.

​

Protecting Our Environment:
We must promote eco-friendly farming practices and invest in sustainable research to preserve Texas’s natural beauty and resources for generations to come.

​

Reforming Criminal Justice:
Minor cannabis offenses should no longer weigh down people's records. Law enforcement resources should focus on serious crimes, ensuring fairness and justice for all Texans.

​

Leading with Innovation:
Texas should be a leader in agriculture, environmental stewardship, and social fairness—raising the quality of life for everyone.

​

Together, we can cultivate a better Texas—one that is safe, innovative, and inclusive. Let’s build a brighter future together.
