I’m honored to serve as Washington County’s Clerk/Auditor. Since taking office 2.5 years ago, I’ve introduced hand‑counted election audits, strengthened multiple election security measures, transitioned the county’s financial system to a secure cloud‑based platform, digitized and streamlined public processes, updated our website, launched a proactive internal audit program, and expanded public outreach through presentations and social media. My roots in Washington County run deep. I grew up working in my family’s St. George restaurant and motel, where I learned the value of hard work. I also competed in bareback bronc and bull riding while attending Dixie High School. After attending Dixie State College, I went on to receive my bachelor’s degree in accounting from Southern Utah University. I then spent 19 years in the County Assessor’s Office as part of the team responsible for managing and accurately reporting a $36.2 billion assessment roll, and during that time earned my Certified General Appraiser designation. Today, I serve as the county’s CFO, overseeing a $219.6 million budget, property tax rates, elections, passports, marriage licenses, tax relief programs, and public records. Inspired by pioneer ancestors who helped settle Washington County, I’m committed to safeguarding elections, protecting taxpayer dollars, and serving the community I love.

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.
