The Election Hub Questionnaire

Please share demographic information to help voters (your age, education, and where you live in NC now).

I’m 28, graduated from Santa Clara University (in California) with a degree in Finance with a Real Estate minor, and my wife and I live in South Charlotte.

Why are you running for this role, and why should voters pick you over your competitors? Please tell us about any previous experience in elected office that you have.

I am running for the U.S. House of Representatives because my work in finance has shown me firsthand the damage caused by an unbacked currency. Too many conservatives have stopped addressing this root issue and instead argue only for slightly fewer subsidies than Democrats. But if we don’t fix our currency, we won’t fix the underlying reason the American Dream is slipping away.

You should support me over my opponent because I offer clear solutions grounded in a clear view of human nature. My opponent focuses primarily on electability and his chances of beating Alma Adams. That matters but fixing the problems that put our country in this position matters more.

Tell us about 1-2 professional accomplishments that gives voters a sense of your leadership style or skills.

In my work, people trust me with multi-million-dollar decisions on how their commercial real estate deals are structured. I interface with capital providers for my clients and make a point to be clear, direct, and honest with everyone involved.

What endorsements from any notable NC organizations or individuals have you received?

I do not currently have the endorsement of any large political organization, as I am new to politics. My campaign is grounded in the belief that politics should be a true marketplace of ideas. I am deeply grateful for the friends and family who have come alongside me with their support and encouragement throughout this campaign.

I’ve also enjoyed meeting people throughout the political world. I was interviewed by Andrew Dunn at Longleaf Politics, and I’m grateful that he told me that he will vote for me.

How long have you lived in the region you are looking to represent in office?

Since 2021.

Please tell us something unexpected about you that voters may be interested in knowing.

Although I strongly disagree with Democratic solutions to economic problems, I think Democrats, especially progressives, often do a good job identifying where the economy is failing.
