Fourth generation Floridian, dad, husband, national security expert, and proud U.S. Coast Guard veteran. Democrat running to flip FL-21.
My thoughts on Veteran’s Day. Today and always, we honor the sacrifice and dedication of veterans who served this great country.

Don’t believe everything you read

Especially if our congressman is saying it

We don’t need a spin doctor. We need someone who is actually going to get things done for the hardworking people of the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches

Do you feel like groceries are cheaper? Let me know in the comments

A hearty Happy Birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps.

Proud to know and have served with Marines in SCIFs, ships, and embassies all over the world!

The kids are all right!

Great to spend time at my alma mater, Hobe Sound Elementary, with (my old!) Boy Scout Troop 812 to check out their rehab of the school’s nature trail.

Proud to see the next generation stepping up to preserve the natural spaces that make the Treasure Coast special.

Some members of Congress visit the water for photo ops—this is just my Friday. That’s the difference!

Throwback Thursday to taking command of Coast Guard Cutter Bluefin in Fort Pierce at age 25!

One thing I learned in command is that when you’re the captain, the buck always stops with you.

That’s the leadership I want to bring to Congress—no excuses, just getting the job done #tbt #fl21 #fyp #fl

Longest government shutdown in American history. Difference in values? Yeah you’re right. #fyp #FL21 #florida #treasurecoast

A better future for Florida’s 21st Congressional District IS possible in 2026 and it starts with us.

64 Dead. Zero Evidence. We deserve representatives who will demand accountability and transparency from ANY administration, not just ones you disagree with. #treasurecoast #fl21 #fyp #drugboats #florida

Beautiful day for a block party in Fort Pierce!

Enjoyed great food and better conversations with voters and community leaders.

It’s spooky how many people think it’s okay to litter like this! This was a quick 5 min pick up on my morning walk.

Remember: real Florida folks don’t litter! #fl21 #treasurecoast #fyp #flpol

Big Tech is dodging environmental protections to try to build one of the country’s biggest data centers right here on the Treasure Coast #fyp #treasurecoast #flpolitics

Congressional Republicans are using SNAP subsidies as a bargaining chip in the government shutdown.

I was raised to believe using vulnerable people as bargaining chips is plain wrong.

On First Responders Day we honor the brave men and women who answer the call when others need help most

As a former Coast Guard officer who led law enforcement teams and the crews of ships I know the dedication of every first responder who answers the call to serve their communities

You can’t negotiate from your beach chair

Brian Mast is busy telling fibs and talking tough instead of being in Washington, D.C. to end the shutdown

I try to keep things positive, but I also can’t let bold faced lies slide

We deserve a representative who won’t lie to us and wants to work

“Keep it up kid. We need ya”

A real treat to spend some time with Broadway Joe today.

Great day knocking doors in Fort Pierce!

On Nov 1 ACA subsidies will expire, skyrocketing ~4.7M Floridian healthcare premiums

FL21 ranks 17th highest in the nation in the number of ACA enrollees w 18% of FL21–135k ppl!

Have you received a letter about your healthcare premiums increasing?

Keeping it simple this week and that’s the magic of wild Florida—you don’t need special gear to enjoy its beauty!

Love taking my daughter on the same simple hikes my dad took me on growing up

Throwback Thursday to the day I joined the U.S. Coast Guard and raised my right hand to take an oath to serve something bigger than myself.

I’m answering the call to serve again because the mission isn’t finished, and our community deserves leaders who put service before self.

A break down of the U.S. military air strikes on drug boats in the Caribbean.

I’m not just a former Coastie with a strong opinion here—I’ve worked this problem on the water, at the operational level, and at the policy level at the White House.

Had a great afternoon with the family celebrating 100 years of the @historicapolloschool where my grandmother went to school!

Enjoyed seeing friends old and new while commemorating a piece of Hobe Sound’s living history.

Energizing day criss-crossing the district (FL-21), meeting patriots hungry for change at the No Kings protests in Palm Beach Gardens, Port St. Lucie, and Stuart.

Big thanks to all the organizers for putting on peaceful & safe venues for folks to exercise their First Amendment rights.

Great to spend time with the Century Village Democratic Club earlier this week.

Energizing exchange of ideas where I heard about the most pressing issues facing seniors.

Some politicians talk about loving wild Florida and fighting for clean water. We live it!

It’s our way of life, not just a campaign slogan. Blessed to have a partner who loves wild Florida like I do.
