ABOUT

Let's Continue to Preserve and Protect Our District's Strong Values

Serving my first term in office as State Representative, I have never felt more thankful to live, and work in the 82nd Ohio House District, which includes the counties of Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert, and a portion of Defiance. Our common values, our families, our friends, our neighbors, our churches, our schools, our work ethic… these are just a few of the countless things that make our northwest Ohio community such a special place. 


As you well know, the core values we hold so dear are not shared by all the citizens of Ohio nor all our fellow Americans. Our cherished values are subjected to constant attacks and they must be solidly preserved and strongly protected. Like many of you, I am a proud parent and grandparent, and my greatest wish is for our children, our grandchildren, and the future generations of our families to experience and enjoy the many blessings we inherited. We live in an incredible region of a wonderful state within an exceptional country full of opportunity, hope, and promise. It must stay that way forever, and by continuing to work together, it will.


I have lived in this part of Ohio all of my life. My wife and I have raised our children here on our family's farm. We worship here and have formed beloved friendships with people from all walks of life. We must all play a role in caring for our District and it has been an honor representing the people of Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert and Defiance counties in the Ohio House of Representatives. I would like to continue to serve and have launched my re-election campaign. I humbly ask for your support and vote in the March 19, 2024 Primary Election.


I invite and welcome you to contact me with your questions, ideas, comments, or a casual conversation just to get to know one another. You will find all my contact information here on my website.
