Brian discusses his background, his reasons for entering state politics, and his assessment of government operations in Texas under Republican leadership. He examines state spending levels, property taxes, regulatory policies, and funding decisions in education and other areas.

He drove historic deregulation—sunsetting ~20,000 regulations, ending unfair taxes, eliminating harmful programs, creating accountability measures, and imposing term limits—projected to save billions. Brian held roles at DoD (sensitive intelligence), the Vice President's office (domestic and global operations), and SSA (Commissioner's office).He worked in family-run small businesses in Texas, as an independent consultant, and as a director at a public affairs firm overseeing healthcare. He is an alum of the American Council on Germany’s Young Leaders program. A frequent national TV guest with publications in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Newsweek, and others, Brian is known for bold conservative leadership. He fought COVID vaccine mandates, ended Texas funding for the American Library Association, expanded education in Ellis County, and opposed federal overreach. A Texas A&M graduate (B.S. Economics, 2004; studies in Business and Political Science), Brian is an instrument-rated private pilot. He lives in Ellis County, TX, with wife Tara and their four children.

Global Health Freedom Summit: Our Story We got tired of seeing the mainstream media brainwash the nation in 3-5 minute sound bites by bringing in compromised and biased "experts" who are in the pockets of Big Pharma.
We knew it was going to take more than 3-5 minute soundbites to combat the Lies and reveal the TRUTH. We realized America needed LONGFORM conversations and presentations from True Experts who can EXPOSE the holes in the propaganda, and are NOT biased, paid-for puppets of the pharmaceutical industrial complex.In the fall of 2020 we launched the Global Health Freedom Summit as a live, in-person event in the face of government "mandates". (...mask up, shelter in-place, v-passports?, we heard it all....) 
The MN Attorney General heard about us, called us a potential "Super Spreader" event and threatened to shut us down. But in spite of that, almost 2,000+ people showed up for the 2020 event anyway!And that was it! 
We did it again in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025...And Now 2026 we are expanding into the Dallas area Freedom Summit - Dallas • TX! And honestly, we’re pretty proud!
