Source-published biography

In his classic novel, 1984, George Orwell described the war Oceania was fighting. He wrote, “The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.” Today libertarians call it the Forever War. Except it is not fiction. The United States has had a permanent presence in the Middle East since before I was born. Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria—and no end in sight. It took just four years to defeat the two most powerful nations on earth and that was 80 years ago. If we meant to win, surely we could have done it in by now.

taxation is theft. this is not just a hashtag, it is a fact.

Candidate position

You work hard for your money and no one has any business saying you should have to give it up. Before the income tax America had roads, schools, police, courts, and a competent military. The country was also the fastest growing, most prosperous nation in the world. Taxes simply take money away from those who produce and give it to those who do not.

waste is a fact of life in D.C.

Candidate position

A significant part of our national debt is from foolishly spent money. Whether it is Covid relief fraud which never should have been appropriated or the military spending billions of dollars to force unproven technology into their latest wonder weapon, the bureaucrats in Washington are incapable of handling our money. Report after report of ludicrous spending items continue to come out of the massive spending bills with thousands of pages, pushed through Congress in just days.

Candidate statement

Candidate position

I am a father, retired Army officer, and an IT security professional. I have lived in Missouri since I was twelve. I have a degree in history from Missouri State University and I minored in economics. I am not a politician. If elected my children will stay in Missouri and I will make every effort to be home whenever possible. After serving 21 years in the Army and Missouri National Guard I have a few ideas about what that service means and what it stood for. Congress and all of Washington need real change and I am ready to bring some.

Candidate position

Too often, Congress and the President just want to be seen doing something, regardless of the consequences. That is how you end up more than $30 Trillion in debt, financed to the point where our grandchildren will be paying, decades from now, for our way of life today. It does not work, if it did we would not need a new stimulus bill every few months. It will not be easy and it will not be fixed tomorrow, but we can make it better for our future.
