​

I have lived in Kentucky all of my life, and my family were coal

miners.  I have seen the devastation that the coal mining industry

can do to a person’s body.  I am dedicated to helping those

individuals get the benefits they worked so hard for and that they

deserve.  I prosecuted for ten years and I am proven to work for

justice.  I also served my county in Operation Iraqi Freedom and

continue to serve in the Kentucky Army National Guard. 

 

Now, I am ready to serve you by providing a strong work ethic in my

representation of you in gaining the benefits you deserve.
