Our District

As a lifelong resident of the Salt Lake Valley, this District has shaped who I am today. I was raised in Sandy, live in Midvale, and work in Murray. I know this community and I am committed to serving its people. As your Representative, I will be an advocate for the people of in this District -- regardless of background, circumstance, or affiliation.

Goals

I've talked to the people of my District about the issues they face, and the changes Capitol Hill needs to make to conquer those challenges. Together, we have created some extraordinary ideas of what is possible in this district and in the state of Utah. I'm ready to be a champion for our vision and build a better community.

About Me

I have deep roots here; I grew up in the valley, attending high school at Brighton High. I’ve served this community working in its schools, watched over it as Chair of the Midvale Community Council, and defended its streets as a Murray City Prosecutor.

I earned my bachelor's degree at the University of Utah and my law degree at Brigham Young University. I've worked in various positions in education, and gained experience volunteering and working for agencies dealing with criminal justice, including the Utah Crime Victims Clinic, Rocky Mountain Innocence Project, and now Murray City. My wife grew up in the valley as well and we have been married for thirteen years. Ten years ago we moved into this district, and we chose to stay and raise our four boys here.

I’ve seen first hand how education and safety impact the entire community. We can work together to bring these priorities to Capitol Hill and reach our full potential. I know this community -- and I have been working on the issues that matter to us!
