Celebrating Legislative Days at the Florida Capitol
WELCOME
Welcome to my website, and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve in the Florida House of Representatives. I am honored to represent you and your views in Tallahassee. I am blessed with a strong faith in God, a wonderful family, and many friends and supporters to help me make a difference in our state government by working for policies that will help Florida prosper.

 

My focus in the Legislature is to limit the size and scope of government, restart the economy by reducing burdensome regulations and lowering taxes, and empower individuals with personal responsibility and a commitment to their community. As a small business owner for 30 years, I’ve created jobs and balanced budgets. I bring common sense and business practices to Tallahassee to help get Florida back on track. Please subscribe to our electronic updates, join our campaign as a volunteer or make a contribution to our re-election effort. Thank you for your support.
