My path to conservatism was somewhat typical: I was raised in a home with Republican parents in a post-Cold War era before social media. At 18, I moved to the liberal Mecca of New York City , where my beliefs were challenged, mocked, and debated. This made me stronger.

I got involved in College Republicans and later interned for the Sean Hannity radio show. I read every book in his office I could: the Lincoln-Douglas debates, John Locke, and Thomas Paine. Soon, I witnessed the fiery start of the Tea Party movement and the growth of “alternative” media to combat the mainstream narrative.
