My commitment to public service has been shaped by real-world experience — in law enforcement, in the courtroom, and in business — and by a deep love for the community we call home.

Before becoming an attorney, I served as a licensed Texas peace officer, working patrol and investigative assignments. That experience taught me the importance of calm decision-making under pressure, accountability in government, and the serious responsibility that comes with serving the public.

Public safety isn’t an abstract concept to me — it’s something I’ve lived firsthand. I understand how county government decisions affect first responders, families, and everyday citizens.

As a practicing attorney, I bring active courtroom experience and a firm understanding of the legal responsibilities connected to the office of County Judge.

County government intersects with real legal matters, real disputes, and real consequences. Sound judgment, fairness, and respect for due process are essential, and legal training matters when the County Judge is entrusted with serious discretion and oversight.

In addition to my public service background, I have owned and operated a construction company for nearly two decades. Running a business requires budgeting, discipline, problem-solving, and responsible management of resources.

That experience gives me a strong understanding of financial stewardship, operational efficiency, and the importance of treating taxpayer dollars with the same care as a family treats its household budget.
