I graduated from Evan E. Worthing high school in Sunnyside and studied Emergency Management and Homeland Security at Texas Southern University, which led me to enlist in the United States Navy. I served our country as a Machinist Mate onboard the USS Henry Jackson Gold SSBN 730. In 2017 I re-enlisted in the Texas Army National Guard and was activated to defend the Southern Border with Customs and Border Patrol Officers during Operation Guardian Support.
- Getting me elected means you get leadership, experience, and honesty.
- I have served our country now allow me to serve the community of HD-147.
- Common sense means good government.
SCHOOL CHOICE: Education Commissioner should be an elected position, we need to restructure our educational curriculum, and we should promote trades in grade school.
EFFICIENT ENERGY: make the investments in nuclear energy as tour alternate energy source that will put Texans back in control of our energy future, create millions of new jobs, and lay the foundation for long-term economic security.
BORDER SECURITY: focus on securing our borders from Illegal Immigration, terrorism, human trafficking and Fentanyl.
CRIME: removing mandatory minimums, legalizing marijuana, and promoting gun safety.
Master P.
His life has been a whirlwind journey, and starting at such a young age; he learned that if you want something in life, you need to chase after it. Whether it was playing pro basketball or coming up with an alternative path, the hustle was always there. His story spoke volumes in my life because it inspired me to push for the stars despite how the cards may be stacked against me. It taught me that no one is going to care about my excuses, only the results I provide.
I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. I was in the 8th grade a Key middle school in gym class. I was 13.
My first job was with DLS event services when I was 17. I worked the Houston Ballet and Houston Grand Opera Schedule for one year.
