Source-published biography

Raised in Ohio, my family has lived in Delaware, OH since 2012, where my wife is a nursing instructor at a local community college and our kids are everything. I’m running for Congress because our district needs representation that’s in the interest of the people more than the political theatrics of recent years. We need our federal taxes to be used in our communities and not in more wars, or corporate welfare.
