He took this belief to the GA General Assembly, where he routinely championed his community through consistent outreach, down-to-earth policy proposals, and putting District 106’s needs first. Having worked to pass legislation such as gas tax suspensions, HOA reforms, and measures to support public education.

Knowing the value of hard work, he was able to launch and run a successful business that he begun at age 20. He knows what it means to build something from the ground up, and he takes that principle everywhere he goes.

That same principle is what has allowed him to proudly serve District 106, the cities of Lawrenceville and Snellville, since 2025.
