I was raised on my family’s homestead north of Inverness, Montana.

I attended Montana State University and served in the Army Reserve.

Beth and I have been married for 30 years, building our life together around the family farm. We’re blessed with four children and one grandchild. I’m proud to see our family continue the Montana way of life.

Over the years, I have worked many jobs — mail carrier, roughneck, mechanic, contractor, farmer, rancher and produce distributor. This has given me a real understanding of the challenges our communities face. Even though the Hi-Line plays a critical role in producing wheat, raising beef, and training the next generation of workers, our voice is often left out of decisions. We need someone in Helena who gets us, and I’m running to be that  voice.

Thank you for your trust.
