He lost a loved one to gun violence, and says that loss is why he sees every criminal case as a person, not a number. He's lived the system from both ends — first as a military police officer making arrests, then as a defense attorney standing next to the accused. Now he wants the job in the middle: the District Attorney who decides whether an arrest becomes a charge, what the charge is, and who gets a second chance.
Twelve years in the Air National Guard as military police, Baylor Law, then his own criminal defense and civil-rights practice in Hays County. He has never worked as a prosecutor, and he says that's the point — that someone who has sat across the table from the DA's office knows where it cuts corners and who pays for it. Faces independent Kirsta Melton in November.
