Vice President

Garrett moved to Brevard County at 18 to attend the Florida Institute of Technology and quickly fell in love with the Space Coast. Originally from Chicago, he graduated from Florida Tech with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and now works as a full-time mechanical engineer. Garrett is passionate about civic engagement and conservative values—especially among young professionals.

He joined the Space Coast Young Republicans in 2019 seeking a community of like-minded individuals and has since become a key leader within the organization. He previously served as Communications Director and Membership Chair before stepping into his current role as Vice President. Garrett also serves as the Chair of the City of Melbourne’s Independence Day Parade Committee, helping lead one of the largest patriotic celebrations in Brevard.
