I grew up in Montana, the "Treasure State". I’m the first of two sons to a Panamanian immigrant father and a Rosebud Sioux Native American mother.

I'm passionate about the intersection of technology and politics.

My career started helping elect Ryan Zinke and Sen. Steve Daines in 2014.

I served as a Team Captain for the Montana Republican Party's Engagement Team.

While in Montana, I also helped Gov. Greg Gianforte start an online movement called Better Montana Jobs.

Upon graduating from Montana State University in 2015, I joined Turning Point USA and was quickly promoted to Editor-In-Chief of their online news site, “Hypeline.”

In one calendar year, my team and I reached more than 12.8 million page views.

At the end of my year, the website had over 200 contributors from across the USA and I managed 7 full-time employees. 

Now I currently work at Leadership Institute as the Director of Digital Training. 

In 8 years, I’ve trained more than 22,000 students, activists and leaders on digital and political technology.

Here are a few courses I teach:

• Artificial Intelligence for Politics

• The Adobe Creative Cloud Suite (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, etc.)

• Social Media Marketing

• Email List Growth Tactics

• Building an Online Brand

I also contribute to Leadership Institute's Campus Reform where I occasionally speak on Fox News, Fox Business, OANN, and Newsmax.

In my free time, I enjoy great whiskey (bourbon especially), good music, being outdoors and a game of chess.

Some controversial opinions? I enjoy pineapple (sometimes) on my pizza. Taylor Swift is nothing short of fantastic, and I'm #TeamCanon all the way.

I have a play hard, work harder mentality. I wear pink on Wednesdays and I’m a pragmatic optimist.

Finally, I enjoy traveling and making many friends along the way.
