Source-published biography

Background: Born at St. Joe’s in 1965, you grew up in Sunnyslope, an area that was all horse property at the time. You attended Richard E. Miller, Royal Palm Elementary, and Sunnyslope High School. I joined the military as a UH-1H helicopter crew chief and served in Fairbanks, Alaska, and Fort Hood, Texas. After Desert Storm, I attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, and later worked for Serv-Air and the Maryland State Troopers as a medevac mechanic. I returned home to Tempe, Arizona, in 1998, where I live with your my wife Sheila and our three boys. I have never participated in politics as a candidate but feel compelled to try to make things better.

Stop the Party politics from ignoring your voice in the Government.

Candidate position

I believe hardworking Americans should keep more of what they earn. We must protect retirement programs and ensure they remain financially secure for future generations. At the same time, we need to reduce government waste, increase accountability, and bring greater transparency to federal spending.

Candidate position

America also needs to rebuild its industrial strength. For decades, manufacturing jobs have disappeared while families have been forced to work harder just to maintain their standard of living. We must encourage American industry, create stable, well-paying jobs, and restore opportunities that allow families to thrive rather than simply get by.
