Father's Occupation:

My Father was a US Army career Soldier who served honorably in WWII & Korea, and Retired with 21 years Honorable Service to our Country.

Mother's Occupation:

My Mother had to quit school in the 9th grade and go to work cleaning houses to help support her younger brothers, and then chose to be a stay-at-home Mom who raised four successful children.

Priority Issues:

We have got to fix this ECONOMY. To do that, we have got to actually CUT Federal spending. Yes, even "your" program. We have to rein in the Federal government to its Constitutional limits, and limit Federal spending to those things specified in the Constitution. We can not afford, nor can we Constitutionally provide, a cradle to grave nanny state.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

In 1976, I raised my right hand and swore an oath to defend and protect the United States of America and its Constitution. I followed that with 31 years of service in the Army (Active/Reserve). As long as there is breath in this body, and a heartbeat in this chest, I will do everything in my power to keep this country safe and secure. As I see the $15+ Trillion debt that threatens economic collapse, I must do whatever I can to fix this.
