He earned an Associate's Degree from Valley Forge Military College and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve through the Early Commissioning Program. He then transferred to the University of Kentucky to obtain his bachelor's degree. After graduating from UK in 2002, he became an active duty officer and deployed to Iraq with the First Cavalry Division. After leaving the Army in 2006, he went home to work for his father's coal trucking company, eventually taking over the company himself. In 2016, he entered politics and ran for the State Senate from the 31st District against incumbent Ray Jones II. Van Horn was the only Republican to file and won the election in November, becoming the first Republican to represent the district since the 1960's. Van Horn was very conservative on social issues but more populist on economic issues, which made him popular in his rural Eastern Kentucky district but put him at odds with Governor Matt Bevin. Van Horn voted against a bill to make Kentucky a right-to-work state and also opposed pension reform. In 2019, Van Horn decided to primary Bevin when he ran for re-election as Governor. Despite Donald Trump's endorsement of Matt Bevin, Van Horn performed very well in rural parts of the state and almost won the primary. In 2020, Van Horn was re-elected as State Senator. In 2022, Van Horn ran for U.S. Senate with the endorsement of Donald Trump and won the election. He and his wife Grace live in Louisa and have one child.
