I am currently attending Dixie State University. My major is in Spanish and I may minor in Criminal Justice -- Criminology. After that, I plan on going to law school and possibly joining the USAF JAG Corps. The areas of law in which I'd like to specialize are criminal defense, tax law, and tribal law.

I am an active, faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I served as a full-time volunteer missionary for two years in the Mexico, Mexico City North Mission, which at that time comprised of the northern half of the state of México, the southern half of the state of Hidalgo, and all of Querétaro. My wife and I currently co-serve as Sunday School teachers.

I am a member of the Central Band of Cherokee Indians. I spoke Cherokee as a child. My family moved a lot when I was younger, so I did not retain my native fluency. I study the Cherokee language in some of my spare time.

I am a Freemason; I was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason (3°) on 17 Dec, 2016. I attend my local lodge regularly. I have found it to be a wonderful way to improve my life and to be of service to my neighbors.

Finally, I am happily married to the most beautiful, caring, patient, and intelligent woman on the face of the planet. We have been married since 21 Dec, 2012 and I don't regret one second of my marriage. She's my best friend, my partner, and the absolute love of my life.
