About Me

I’m a conservative of the sort that’s out of fashion. But I’m not ready to surrender the label. I have many opinions; few are popular. I don’t mind.

I grew up outside of Dallas-Fort Worth, right on the line between suburb and rural. I left Texas — and the part of my soul that loves Whatburger, Topo Chico, and Willie Nelson — for Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Justice Scalia once said if he weren’t a Virginian, he’d probably want to be a Texan. I’ve tested his proposition in reverse and I think he had it just about right.

After college, my wife and I got married and moved to Washington, DC.

I’m a communications professional at a law firm in DC. I have previously worked as an account executive for a boutique media relations firm and did government relations for an economic think tank.

In my free time, I enjoy drinking and collecting whiskey, ideally paired with a good cigar. I’m a tinkerer and technology enthusiast. I build mechanical keyboards and collect retro video games.
