My Story

I wasn’t born a politician, and I’ve never claimed to be one. Like many of you, I grew up with a deep, abiding respect for the culture, history, and unique spirit of Texas. We are a people forged by resilience and a fundamental belief in liberty. But as the years went on, it became increasingly clear to me that the values we hold dear in Texas were fundamentally at odds with the bloated, overreaching bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.

The realization that the relationship between Texas and the federal government was broken wasn’t a sudden epiphany. It was a slow, undeniable culmination of facts. We were watching our economy be drained, our borders mismanaged, and our fundamental rights chipped away by a federal apparatus that neither understood nor cared about the people of Texas. I realized that complaining about Washington wasn't enough. We needed a definitive, legal, and peaceful exit strategy.

For over two decades, I have dedicated my life to the cause of Texas independence. When we first began laying the groundwork for the Texas Nationalist Movement, the idea of secession was often dismissed as a fringe concept or a historical relic. We were laughed at by the political establishment and ignored by the mainstream media.

But I knew the political class was out of touch with the people on the ground. I spent years traveling the state, from the Panhandle to the Valley, sitting in living rooms, town halls, and local diners. I listened to Texans from all walks of life who felt the exact same way I did. We didn't just complain; we organized. We built a grassroots infrastructure, block by block, voter by voter, turning a marginalized concept into the mainstream political force it is today.
