About · Wright City to St. Charles
Talker. Connector. Board game guy.
I grew up in Wright City, studied Interactive Media Design at Lindenwood, and never strayed far from home. Today I run VideoPunk, show up for my community, and serve wherever I can be useful.
The story
Four stops so far.
Why I ran for Congress
I didn’t plan to run.
In January 2026, I was facilitating small groups at a leadership retreat built around a just, caring, and thriving world. That’s where I heard about Renee Good’s death. The distance between that room and the news was hard to ignore.
Then Alex Pretti was killed. I knew I had to do something, and Congress was the biggest impact I could make. The filing deadline was less than 48 hours away. I filed.
What I learned losing.
I lost the primary. The three St. Charles County candidates I made videos for won.
I started with no list, no money and a name almost nobody knew. That isn’t a campaign yet. It’s a start.
So the next run starts now. Meet people before I need anything from them. Keep explaining how things work, in public, every week. And keep helping good people win, whether or not my name is on the ballot.
Family
Emily & Loey.
Husband to Emily, dad to Loey. They’re home base for everything else on this site.
There’s a game room in our house, and it gets used. Ask me for a board game recommendation and you’ll get five.

Where I serve.
What I believe
Values, not a platform.
Policy can wait for a campaign. These don’t change with the seat.
