BIOGRAPHY

I grew up in Macon, GA, where I lived with my parents and brother. I was raised in a family that valued education, and I witnessed the challenges my mother faced as a public school teacher for 30 years. After graduating from high school, I earned a bachelor's degree in Geography from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. I served in the Army for six years as an Armor officer, including three overseas deployments — once to Kosovo and twice to Iraq.

Since leaving active duty, I have held various product management and marketing roles within the mining and construction industry. I currently run my own small business.

I have been married to my lovely wife, Lacey, for over 20 years. We live in Sylvan Township with our three boys (ages 16, 14, and 9). All of our sons attend Chelsea schools.
