I was raised in a working-class St. Louis family that taught me the value of integrity, hard work, and showing up for your community. My grandparents dedicated their lives to education. My parents built their own paths through determination and grit. Their example shaped the way I live, work, and serve, and at the core of it all, family is everything to me.

I was raised in the Greater St. Louis area and have lived here my entire life. I’m a proud product of the Fox C-6 School District and earned my bachelor’s degree from Southeast Missouri State before returning home to graduate from St. Louis University School of Law.

Now, as an attorney, I fight for justice in the courtroom. As a personal injury lawyer, I stand up for people during some of the hardest moments of their lives. I’ve represented working families, injured individuals, and underserved communities, holding powerful institutions and corporations accountable. I help people fight back when they’ve been hurt, ignored, or taken advantage of, because everyone deserves justice, not just the powerful and well-connected.

My family has seen firsthand how substance abuse can tear families apart. That experience has deepened my commitment to expanding access to treatment and mental health support across our communities. Two of my brothers have proudly served in the military, and their service reminds me every day of the sacrifice, discipline, and responsibility we all share in building a stronger future for those who serve and those they protect.

Now, I’m stepping up to bring that same passion for justice and fairness to the Missouri House of Representatives. I’m not a career politician. I believe government should work for the people—not special interests. I’m running to make our city a safer place to live and work, to bring real investment where it’s needed most, and to help restore hope in a better, brighter, and bolder future for every resident, whether you’re trying to buy your first home, raise a family, or simply feel safe on your block.
