Born and raised in Idaho, I grew up on my father’s cattle and horse ranch in Payette County. I earned my law degree from the University of Idaho in 2013 and have since worked in both civil and criminal defense in the private sector before transitioning to prosecution.
Tracing my lineage back to the earliest settlers of America who journeyed on the Mayflower and participated actively in the Revolutionary War, my heritage instills in me a deep reverence for the principles of freedom, constitutional rights, and patriotic duty. This legacy is evident in my unwavering support for the Second Amendment, a commitment I have demonstrated through my tenure as Editor-in-Chief at GunsAmerica for over six years.
My professional legal experience is extensive, encompassing a wide spectrum of cases and jury trials, ranging from minor misdemeanors to grave felonies, including acts of violence, murder, drug-related crimes, fraud, and corruption. This experience has equipped me with the skills necessary to secure convictions, ensure justice for victims, and uphold the accountability of perpetrators. In addition to my criminal prosecutorial jury practice, I currently serve as the legal advisor to the Adams County Planning & Zoning Board.
My candidacy is driven by a belief in justice that encompasses punishing the guilty, protecting the innocent, preventing crime, and fostering fairness and equality. I practice common sense and unwavering commitment to doing what’s right.
Endorsed 100 percent by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, I pledge to work closely with law enforcement to maintain Washington County as a safe, free, and peaceful community.
The role of the Prosecuting Attorney, in my view, extends beyond the mere enforcement of law; it is also to champion the cause of justice. I am confident that my professional expertise, coupled with my passion and integrity, equips me uniquely for this role. I possess the fortitude to withstand any political influences that might compromise the sanctity of the office.
It is with a sense of duty and commitment to the welfare of Washington County that I seek your support in the forthcoming election. Together, we can create a significant impact. Thank you.
