It has been my pleasure to serve the citizens of Washington County. My wife, Jill, our three children, and eight grandchildren all love Utah’s Dixie. For 40 years, we owned and operated a successful landscape business. Dedicated neighbors and educators helped prepare our children to raise their own families. I graduated from Dixie College and then received my Bachelor's and Master’s degrees from BYU. My commitment to public service has included the St. George Planning Commission, the St. George City Council, and a Washington County Commissioner, along with numerous boards and committees. My focus has been centered around water, transportation, public safety and planning. Attainable housing has become an increasing concern. I am fiscally conservative and consistently seek efficiency in how government services are provided. Growth in government is not the answer; balancing budgets and tightening belts is. I am ready to meet the challenges ahead and win. I stand firmly by the principles of the Republican platform, defend the Constitution, and promote personal freedom above all. The Caucus/Convention process is the best way to meet neighbors, share ideas, and stay engaged in what makes Washington County great. I look forward to meeting our citizens throughout this election.
