Work

What I work on.

Three things get most of my time. Here is what each one is and why I do it.

Campaigns

The 2026 campaigns

I ran for Congress in Missouri's 3rd District and made videos on privacy, local candidates and what was on the ballot.

Business

VideoPunk

My video production company in St. Charles. It pays the bills and taught me how to explain things.

Community

Youth and leadership

Destination Imagination, Delta Tau Delta and LeaderShape. Mostly teaching people to solve their own problems.

The 2026 campaigns

I ran. I lost. I kept making videos.

The run

I ran for Congress in Missouri's 3rd District in 2026. I lost the primary.

The videos

Through the campaign I made videos about more than my own race. Some highlighted our St. Charles County candidates: Cat Clayton, Jewel Kelly and Tara Murray. Others made the case for No on Amendments 4 and 5, and Yes on 6.

What I talked about

The topics I kept coming back to:

Privacy

St. Charles City and County use Flock license plate cameras that log where cars go. I argued against them.

If AI takes the jobs, it takes the health insurance tied to them. I made the case for Medicare for All.

Data centers

St. Charles banned them through zoning. I explained how your town can do the same.

Money

Members of Congress shouldn’t trade stocks, and Citizens United should be overturned.

Immigration

I told Janie’s story. ICE arrested her husband on his way to work, and her family left the country to stay together.

Media

Propaganda follows a script. I showed people how to spot it.

What's next

I plan to run in 2028. I haven't picked the seat yet. Join the list and you'll hear it first.

VideoPunk

The day job is telling stories on camera.

VideoPunk is my video production company in St. Charles. We take on projects for organizations with a story worth telling well. Two recent ones:

Karnea

Delta Tau Delta’s national convention. We were the video team in Cleveland in 2024 and in Phoenix in 2026: four days of daily recap videos, interviews, social clips and a full B-roll library.

Lindenwood University Gala

Two films for Lindenwood’s 2026 gala, themed “Timeless Heritage. Bold Horizon.” A two-minute welcome from current students, played before dinner, and a five-minute documentary on the university’s past, present and future, built from archival material and campus interviews.

Running it taught me the skill I use everywhere else: take something complicated and make it clear in under two minutes.

Youth and leadership

Teach people to solve it themselves.

Destination Imagination

I serve on the board of Missouri Destination Imagination, where kids are handed an open-ended challenge and no instructions.

Delta Tau Delta

I advise the Delta Tau Delta chapter at Lindenwood University.

LeaderShape

I facilitate small groups at LeaderShape, a leadership program for college students.

Why it is on this page

Action is the antidote to despair. These are the places I watch people learn that firsthand.
