South Dakota State House District 25 (unopposed)

“I was born and raised in Yankton, South Dakota, where I graduated from high school. Afterward, I attended university and flight school in Iowa, beginning a career that would take me across the country and around the world. While I've lived in many places along the way, South Dakota has always been — and will always be — home.” (Candidate Campaign Website)

“After completing flight school, I married my wife, Kimberly, whose kindness and strength have been a constant foundation for our family. As I built my career as a professional pilot, we moved several times before I joined the Department of Homeland Security as a federal agent. In that role, I flew national security missions across the United States while we lived in North Dakota and Arizona.” (Candidate Campaign Website)

“During our time in North Dakota, Kimberly and I became foster parents to several sibling groups. That experience had a profound impact on our lives. We were blessed with the opportunity to adopt our two oldest daughters, and later welcomed two more children — a daughter and a son — into our family.” (Candidate Campaign Website)
