I was born in St. George, Utah and grew up in Lehi. My best friend moved to Eagle Mountain in Jr. High, so EM became my second hometown. From a young age I spent my summers on my Grandparent's cattle ranch in Eastern Utah. I grew up trading Pokémon cards, playing soccer, and fighting with my siblings. My friends and I loved Mountain Biking on EM's newly built trails. We would get shakes after at Village Pizza (back when they had that sort of thing!) I graduated from Westlake High School in 2011 and enrolled in BYU in Provo. I transferred to BYU Hawaii and attended there until I was recruited to play two seasons of soccer at Western Wyoming Community College. I served a Mormon mission in Argentina where I learned to speak Spanish. After returning home, I started a family and joined the Utah Army National Guard in 2017. I became the state's  first "street to seat" pilot, attending Basic Training, Warrant Officer Candidate School, Survive Evade Resist and Escape (SERE) school, and flight school back to back. I returned just in time and deployed to Afghanistan with my unit in 2020. Shortly after arriving home, in 2021 all U.S. soldiers were given an unlawful (see Title 10 U.S. Code § 1107) order to participate in experimental Covid-19 treatments. I refused to comply with these orders and my career was derailed as a result. I was grounded (no longer allowed to fly Apaches), my pay was shut off, and my benefits revoked. This caused me to default on my military retirement loan, and drop out of Utah Valley University where I was pursuing a career as a civilian pilot. Around this time I was also going through a devastating separation and divorce with my spouse. My mental health took a nose dive (pun intended). Glory to God, He helped me overcome my depression with faith, my children, loved ones, and mental health professionals. The covid-era mandates for soldiers had been reversed and I was ordered to return to duty. I was all set to start flying again; behavioral health case resolved, flight physical completed, and motivated as ever. Then my chain-of-command changed their minds about me getting back in the aircraft and did a complete 180. They told me that I would never fly again. I asked them if this decision had anything to do with my now resolved situational depression. They said, no, it was solely due to my failure to be compliant with the covid orders and that I could no longer be trusted. I obviously disagreed with this decision and continued to push back through the proper channels. Then the unthinkable: I tried dating a girl on the Mormon dating app called Mutual. This story makes me look silly, naive, and desperate, but it is an important moment of my personal development. This woman attempted to "cancel culture" me and so I shared my side of the story on TikTok and it went absolutely viral. For many years I struggled with worrying about how other people saw me, and having my authentic self put out for over 20 million people to judge and getting back mostly good marks was liberating for me. I continued to push back and fight for my military aviation career with a newfound confidence. After my superiors lied to my congressman, Burgess Owens, and retaliated against me by making me take new mental health evaluations not in accordance with military regulations, I finally decided to speak out. I released my whistleblower video on TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly known as twitter, mom). TikTok immediately suppressed it, but to my surprise, it went viral on X, where I had just recently created an account and had no followers. It has now been several months (February, 2025), and I still have not heard anything from Congressman Owens or the new administration. So I plan to begin my service - not career - as a public servant. I will not profit as the mayor of Eagle Mountain (cost of living covered only), the remainder of my salary ($100,000 per year) will go towards passion projects for our community. As soon as I am able to support myself completely with passive income from my small businesses, I won't take a salary at all. I want you to know that I have absolutely no ulterior motives in trying to become your mayor. I have two gorgeous children, I enjoy spending my time growing my small businesses, working out at the gym, studying scripture and history, and writing endless memorandums for my commanders.
