In 2011, I left West Texas to move to Kansas City to attend a ministry school. While I was there, I met my amazing wife, Lyndsay. We got married a year after we started dating and, after another year, brought our beautiful daughter into the world. In 2014, my father was diagnosed with ALS. ALS is a terminal disease with no cure and a prognosis of 3-5 years. Due to his diagnosis and wanting to be there to help him, we moved to the Austin, TX, area where he lived in 2017. While moving to Austin, we got connected to a team that was planting a church and started helping them out with their plant. We were able to serve in various aspects of that ministry and loved every minute of it. We also had our amazing son while living in Austin in 2018. It was also while we were in Austin that I started getting involved politically, first as the Texas Young Republican Chaplain, then restarting the Williamson County Young Republicans as Chairman, and finally being appointed as the Young Republican National Federation (YRNF) Chaplain. During this time that I started my company,
Code Collaborators, and stepped into the tech world. My father passed away in 2018, and after a few years of staying in Austin, we decided we needed to be closer to my wife's family and moved to the Tulsa, OK area in 2021.
