Why I’m Giving Up the Next Five Years of My Life for Precinct 3

I could be anywhere right now.

I’m a full-time DJ and music producer who’s performed music Vegas clubs and streamed countless sets.
>I’m an author with books already out and more on the way.
>I’m a movie script writer with several projects in the pipeline.
>I’m a pro-level gamer and livestreamer with serious skills.
>I’m an artist who paints and sells originals.

Any one of those paths would pay better, give me more freedom, and let me sleep in on Monday mornings.

Instead, I’m choosing to sacrifice the next five years (maybe longer) to sit in a county courthouse chair in Angleton, argue over asphalt contracts, and fight for every single street in Mustang Bayou.

Why?

Because I was raised right here in the Mustang Bayou area, and I’m tired of watching my hometown get forgotten.

I’m not trying to turn Alvin into Las Vegas. I love the country air, the wide-open skies, and the sound of the birds chirping in the trees around my home. What I’m bringing from Vegas is the standard: when something is supposed to work, it works. When a road is supposed to be smooth, it’s smooth. When a parking lot is supposed to be safe, it’s safe. No excuses, no half-measures.

Here’s the short list of what “the best Brazoria County Commissioner they’ve ever had” actually looks like:

- Roads rebuilt from the ground up, not patched until the next rain washes the patch away
- A full-size H-E-B so families don’t have to always drive 9+ miles for their groceries
- Paved, striped, and lit parking lots at every school, church, and strip center
- Streetlights that actually work and intersections that feel safe at night
- Local businesses getting real support instead of just lip service
- Every tax dollar stretched so far you can hear it squeal — because negligence costs more than progress ever will

If you want receipts, just walk into the Planet Fitness on Bypass 35 in Alvin. That brand-new equipment, fresh paint, and total overhaul? That happened because I showed up, organized members, and refused to give up until corporate fixed it — all with zero budget and zero authority.

Imagine what I can do when I actually have the gavel, the budget, and the vote.

I’m not asking for the next five years of my life because I have nothing better to do. I’m asking for it because Mustang Bayou raised me, and now it’s my turn to raise Mustang District's standards up.

This isn’t about turning country into a city. This is about making sure the country runs as smooth as the city should. That’s the sacrifice I'm making over these next 5 years. That’s the promise I intend to keep where others haven't.

See you at the courthouse, neighbors. Let’s build the hometown we all deserve.
