Biographical Info:

“I’m a fourth-generation native Arizonan, my maternal great-grandfather immigrated legally from Mexico to work in the copper mines in the Globe area. My father was in the Air Force and became a real estate broker and business owner here in Phoenix. I was a business owner of the largest sports medicine and weight training facility in the nation, training a variety of NFL athletes, collegiate football players, celebrities and more. I also serve on the Board of Help 4 Kidz which has helped hundreds of at-risk youth and has received 4 Presidential awards.
I have deep roots, and a lifelong commitment here, being raised in District 4. Partisan political games are damaging our state, which is why I’m running. I will keep my word and champion solutions for our beautiful state as I focus on the issues you all have told me matter most: Border security, public safety, fighting inflation and high prices, supporting school choice and excellence in schools and securing our elections so every voter, regardless of party, can trust the results, and protecting our long-term water
future.”
