I'm a husband and father who wants to see Kootenai County thrive and be a great place for the current and future generations to live their lives and do the work God has put before them.

I'm a lifelong Christian and conservative and believe we will do better if we hold the Ten Commandments in high regard, and spend more time talking to our neighbors.
