| Collapse all
I'm a devoted follower of Christ, with Courtney as my cherished wife of 22 years. Together, we're blessed with three wonderful children and two adorable grandchildren. My professional journey has been diverse, from serving as a County Commissioner to retiring as Chief Deputy Sheriff. Currently, I'm the Chief Operations Officer at Harness, LLC, while also managing my own business ventures. And when it comes to passions outside of work, you'll find me cheering fervently for my beloved football teams, the Tennessee Volunteers and the Tennessee Titans.
In every role that God has entrusted me with, I've strived to serve diligently, seeking innovative ways to improve the lives of those around me. As a State Representative, my foremost aim is to authentically represent and advocate for the people I am privileged to serve, embodying the spirit of a true servant leader.
- "Maury First!" is not just a slogan for me—it's a commitment. I pledge unwavering dedication to the people of Maury County, advocating tirelessly on their behalf in every circumstance. No challenge will go unmet, no effort spared as I strive to enhance the well-being of every resident of Maury County, leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of progress and prosperity for all.
- "Putting Maury's Children First!" is more than a slogan—it's a guiding principle. I'm dedicated to collaborating with all school systems in my district, both public and private, to prioritize the needs of our children. Parents should always retain the freedom to choose the educational path that best suits their children, whether it be public, private, or homeschooling. In this regard, the government's role should be minimal, respecting parental choice and staying uninvolved in decisions regarding education.
- Representative government should truly represent the essence of its name. We don't elect individuals to reign over us; we elect them to serve and advocate for our interests at every level of governance. Our nation was founded on the principle of replacing tyrants with public servants who genuinely reflect the needs of their constituents. Unfortunately, too often, elected officials veer from this path, choosing to rule rather than serve. My commitment is clear: I aspire to serve you, not to wield power over you.
1. Inflation: I am dedicated to exploring strategies that mitigate the adverse effects of inflation on the residents of my district.
2. Immigration: I am committed to aiding border states in border security efforts, especially when the federal government falls short in fulfilling its responsibility to secure our borders.
3. Education and Child Support: I prioritize initiatives aimed at enhancing education and providing robust support for children within our communities.
4. Crime and Drugs: Collaborating with local law enforcement agencies and community organizations, I aim to ensure accountability for criminals while also advocating for rehabilitation options to address the root causes of crime and drug abuse.
5. Election Security:
The Making of America by W. Cleon Skousen
My ability to know when to fight and when to let something go.
Truly represent the people they serve and not rule over them.
I want it known more than anything that I love my wife and family with everything within me and would do anything for them.
Iraqi Troops invaded Kuwait. 1990 and I was 8.
Middle Tn Concrete - Laborer. Started when I was 11 and worked many summers throughout my adolescence.
Bible - It has forever changed me.
Professional and courteous with the understanding that legislatures answer to the people of their district first.
1. Managing growth and maintaining infrastructure on both state and local levels.
2. Reducing the impacts of inflation.
3.. Protecting our people from Anarchy.
Absolutely, I would love to see this especially on the local level before running for state office.
Absolutely, no man is on an island or at least he shouldn't be. This is lacking greatly on both sides of the isle today and it especially shows in the TN state house.
John Deberry
NO and I hope that never changes!
To alleviate the burden of inflation on our elderly property owners, my inaugural legislative proposal aims to implement a property tax freeze. Under this initiative, property taxes will be maintained at their current rate for homeowners aged 68 and above who fall within a predetermined lower income bracket (to be determined). This freeze will remain in effect until the property changes ownership or the owner's income surpasses the eligibility threshold.
Criminal Justice, Commerce, Local Government, and Education.
All aspects of government should be transparent to the people.
