I was born in Huntsville and grew up in northern Alabama (with a few years near Houston). After graduating from Bob Jones High School in 2004, I earned degrees at Auburn (B.S. in Secondary Education) and Ohio State (M.S. in Statistics). Following stints around Columbus and D.C., my wife Laura (a veterinarian) and I moved back to Madison in 2022 to spend more time with extended family. Our daughter Bailey is a first grader at Rainbow Elementary. Since November 2024, I’ve coordinated the Beautification and Tree Board’s litter removal program (Adopt-a-Spot). In December 2024, I completed Madison’s Civic Awareness Academy. Between other responsibilities, I work part-time at a local restaurant. My hobbies include reading, learning Spanish, and playing tennis.
