With deep roots in Montana, I proudly call this state home. A place where I understand, on a daily basis, the challenges facing families, workers, and small businesses across House District 23. By growing up on a working ranch in Cascade County and working alongside my father in his business in Great Falls at an early age, I saw firsthand the reality of what many Montanans face. From navigating the burden of insurance and medical bills during times of crisis to witnessing the pressures on local businesses and working families, these experiences have shaped my perspective and purpose. Rather than turning away from these challenges, I have learned to confront them with resilience and a focus on solutions. My work with a national nonprofit and within city government in Great Falls further demonstrates my commitment to service and my ability to create meaningful change. Together, these experiences have prepared me to advocate effectively and deliver results at the state level.
