I was born and raised in Union City, TN. As a kid, I was challenged by my parents and peers to be all that I could be. As a teenager, I was invited by a friend in high school to go and worship God. I attended worship faithfully for one year hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ ringing in my ears and resting in my soul. In October of 1988, I was born again as a disciple of Jesus Christ. It was this experience that would forever change my life. I continue to sit at the Master’s feet to learn and to utilize the talents that He has given me.

I graduated from Union City High School and proceeded to the University of Tennessee at Martin where I received my Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in 1995. From there I furthered my studies and obtained my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 1999.

After graduating from veterinary school, I began a career as a small animal veterinarian. I have lived and worked in many cities throughout this great state of Tennessee. I have been an associate veterinarian, relief veterinarian, emergency room veterinarian and now an owner of a veterinary hospital.

Politically, I became involved in politics in 2008 after the Banker Bailout Act (i.e. TARP, Emergency Economic Stabilization Act) was passed. It was at this point that I realized that the Republican Party for which I championed as the only conservative party was a fraud because they gave 700 billion dollars or more of your money to big failed banks and insurance companies. We heard the term ‘too big to fail’. I know that it was our conservative Republicans that failed us.

From here I delved deeply into researching and investigating U.S. history, economics, politics, etc. I asked myself the question, “where did all the money go?” What I realized astonished me and changed me from a passive, patriotic, ignorant, consistently voting, conservative Republican to an active, patriotic, informed, consistently voting, conservative who was mad at the Republican Party for deceiving myself and the rest of the conservative population into believing that they were for us.

I decided in 2011 that I was not going to vote for Bob Corker as I had done in 2006. So, I set out to run a United States Senate campaign as a strong conservative, born again Christian candidate who was endorsed by the Libertarian Party, the Tea Party, and Ron Paul supporters. I learned a great deal about the political process at the federal level.

I have been married to my wife for the past 15 years and the Lord has blessed us with three wonderful children. We live in Spring Hill, TN. I own a small business, Agape Pet Hospital, in Spring Hill (www.AgapePetHospital.com). We are partners/members at Rolling Hills Community Church in Franklin, TN.

I look forward to serving you in this endeavor to ensure that these cities, counties, state and federal governments conform to the Constitutions to which they vowed to uphold before God and man.
