The strength of our community begins in the home. As a father of three, I know the importance of a nurturing family environment for the development of our children. Family is everything to me, and they are the exact reason I am taking the step to run for Circuit Clerk of Jefferson County.

As a longtime resident of Jefferson County, this community has given so much to my family.  But lately, like many of you, I've felt that our local institutions are losing sight of who they are meant to serve.  Our courthouse deserves leadership that operates with total honesty, respects our hard-earned tax dollars and treats public service as a sacred trust. 

Protecting our family values and parental rights is not just a policy for me; it's a personal mission to ensure our children grow up safe, confident, and resilient. 

A public office requires a leader who is physically in the building every single day. Our courthouse has a fantastic team. They deserve a boss who stands right alongside them, communicates clearly and is always available when they need help. My goal is to rebuild trust by running an office where leadership is fully accountable and highly visible. I will focus on fixing our disjointed computer systems so your private records are safe and accessible. If a problem arises, I will face it directly and take full responsibility instead of avoiding the tough conversations. By choosing to lead by example, I will bring back the active, honest and full-time dedication that our staff and taxpayers deserve.

My commitment to community service is driven by personal experience. When we lost my father, an Arnold PD officer, the outpouring of support from our community was overwhelming. This deep sense of community spirit has motivated me to give back and serve as a steadfast advocate for our residents. I will continue to work to foster a supportive environment where every gesture of kindness is recognized, and every community effort is valued. 

Think of the Circuit Clerk's office as the operational engine of our local justice system.  From traffic tickets and jury duty to court records, almost every major life event passes through this office.

More importantly, the Clerk manages millions of your hard-earned tax dollars in court fees and fines.

When this office isn't run with absolute integrity, the whole system slows down, and your money is put at risk.  That is why efficiency, honesty, and strict financial oversight matter.  As your Circuit Clerk, I will ensure this office works smoothly, transparently, and honestly for every citizen.
