A lot has changed since the first post, so I feel like updating a bit... 

I no longer align with any political side. I don’t get involved in politics. And I don’t support anyone who isn’t America first, which unfortunately describes most people in politics today... I am choosing to focus on my own community and influence what I can on a smaller scale moving forward.

With that said, I did work closely with President Trump and his team in 2024 to help him secure more of the LDS vote, and the opportunity gave me access, relationships, and insight that were an experience that I will always be grateful for.

When Trump came to Utah in that September, members of his campaign reached out through mutual connections and asked for help connecting with the LDS community. That quickly turned into me being directly involved in introductions, meetings, strategy, messaging, and execution across multiple fronts.

I helped facilitate connections between Trump’s team and Church leadership, including, arranging meetings, helping bridge conversations that don’t normally happen, and securing inauguration tickets for general authorities. I worked on positioning and messaging, helped shape announcements, and had my team build graphics, landing pages, and a lot of backend details. I also helped coordinate introductions with influencers, media, and podcasts, and was involved in private event planning and conversations throughout that period.

One of the most visible outcomes was the LDS for Trump fireside, where President Trump joined the call live. That event was intentionally built, structured, and positioned. I personally built and own the landing page and domain where the replay still lives today which has hundreds of thousands of views and continues to grow.

You can view it here:

From a work standpoint, it was intense. From a connections standpoint, it was fun. I was in rooms, on calls, and part of conversations that were new to me in a lot of ways not coming from a political background.

Meeting Trump in person was awesome. He’s sharp, funny, and knows how to command attention. I understand why people are drawn to him.

The best part of that season had nothing to do with politics.

It was the people.

I met individuals I’ll be friends with for life. People like Cam, Austin, Dave, Gary, and others who are good men, grounded, and high integrity. Those relationships are the best part about this.

Today, I don’t promote candidates. I don’t argue red versus blue. I focus on my family, my faith, my work, and building things that actually matter. And helping young men not make the same mistakes I have made growing up.

I’m grateful for the relationships that came from that season, and I’m comfortable leaving the political side of it behind.
