Born on an Army base, raised by a combat-wounded father and a working mother. Service and sacrifice aren't talking points for Hugh — they're how he grew up.
Served as a JAG officer advising commanders on cases where decisions carried immediate and lasting consequences. Still serves in the Army Reserve today.
Volunteers as a Cubmaster, coaches his kids, and understands firsthand what Virginia families need from their government.
Helped build and integrate multiple security businesses into a national platform — managing growth, payroll, healthcare costs, and compliance at scale.
Chose Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Virginia to live in the communities he wants to serve.
I was born on Fort Riley as my father returned from his second combat tour in Vietnam. Service, discipline, and endurance have been constants in my life — from Eagle Scout to Army JAG officer to building businesses where failure carried real cost.
I chose to attend law school in Grundy, Virginia because I wanted to understand rural communities firsthand. I know the challenges — healthcare access, economic fragility, and limited institutional capacity. This district needs someone who's lived it.
