Son to a single mother and brother of two younger sisters, all survivors of physical abuse. Growing up, his mother relocated Alan and his sisters many times in order to escape abuse and to pursue a better life. Alan attended 16 different schools from kindergarten through high school, he was a ward of the state for a span of five years in foster care and grew up in more than 16 different cities throughout Michigan. At age 16 he took a year off from school to work helping to support his mother and sisters. From an early age, Alan learned the importance of demonstrating resilience, courage, and refusal to give up in face of anything life could throw at him.

During his junior and senior years, River Rouge High School employed Alan as network administrator in charge of 250 desktop workstations. He maintained the school's server and trained 4 other students to help maintain the network for the school. During his senior year, aspiring to become a leader and affect community change, he ran for city council in the city of River Rouge. Although he did not win the race, he was the youngest candidate in city history. Later that year, he answered the call to become a US Marine, which evolved into a lifelong commitment.

He served in the United States Marine Corps as a Reservist for 20 years volunteering for 5 deployments consisting of combat and support of combat operations roles. He is a combat veteran with experience in many diverse cultures including 19 Countries globally as a...
  • Americans First, Second, and Third in America.
  • The second amendment "Shall not be infriged"
  • it is God that grants life and not the government.
The reduction of it.
Spartan King Leonidas: His devotion to his God, Faith, Family, Country, Citizens and Honor through his service as a warrior and representative.

Lieutenant General Chester Puller: His dedication, and devotion to country and corps was above reproach.
President George Washington: He turned down the establishment of a monarchy when the Americans offered him a kingship after winning the revolutionary war.
President Abraham Lincoln: He united the country and abolished slavery.
Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius: He created "The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus" and he lived by them.
Jesus: To be Christ like, this shows the perfect act of living a life of love, devotion, sacrifice, and forgiveness.
John the Baptist: His faith in God was all he needed to walk the Lords path.

General Mattis: Because he is General Mattis, if you don't get it, you never will.

The United States Constitution, The book "The Federalist", the "Bible", and "The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius".
1. Know yourself and seek self-improvement 2. Be technically and tactically proficient 3. Know your constituents and look out for their welfare 4. Keep your constituents informed 5. Set the example 6. Ensure the task is understood, supervised, and accomplished 7. Train your staff as a team 8. Make sound and timely decisions 9. Develop a sense of responsibility among your staff 10. Employ your staff in accordance with its capabilities 11. Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions 1. Justice: Justice is the practice of being fair and consistent. A just person gives consideration to each side of a situation and bases rewards or punishments on merit. As good leaders, we have to hold people accountable. We have to show that if you do good, you get good things. If you do bad, you will be held accountable. 2. Judgment: Often, leaders must assess situations quickly and without significant time to reflect. The Marine Corps refers to the "70 Percent Solution," meaning an imperfect solution that can be acted upon quickly, rather than waiting for the perfect judgment - which may never come. This guideline doesn't advise acting in extreme haste; rather, it advises avoiding "analysis Paralysis." It argues that with 70 percent of the possible knowledge, having completed 70 percent of the analysis, and with a confidence rate of about 70 percent, the time is right to make an informed judgment. 3. Dependability: Amidst the stress and chaos of combat, there often is no telling how people will react. A hero one day may be a catatonic wreck the next. Some would say that's perfectly understandable. Marines say that's totally unacceptable. Marines demand dependability in all situations - on and off the battlefield. Leaders have consistency in crisis and do not over commit. They do what they say they'll do when they say they'll do it. 4. Initiative: Find a way to take the initiative; don't do it for the recognition or for the glory, do it to help accomplish the mission.
The qualities of a United States Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant.
The ability to listen to American citizens within the district before taking action on behalf of the district.
Americans being restored as being first in America and second to none in the United States of America.
"Tear down this wall", also known as the Berlin Wall Speech, was a speech delivered by United States President Ronald Reagan in West Berlin on Friday, June 12, 1987. I was six years old.
At the age of eight years old I would gather cans after school to help my mother with buying groceries for my little sisters.
I don't have a favorite book, as I have enjoyed multiple books.
None, I am content with the reality that I reside within.
Days of Elijah (No God Like Jehovah)
Alan's mother relocated him and his two younger sisters to about 16 different cities while growing up in order to escape abuse from their father. Alan was raised primarily in Holly, Howell, Wyandotte, and lived in River Rouge for high school.
The ability to increase of decrease the amount of money, freedoms, and liberties that the American does or does not have.
No, our government should consist of people who can relate to the lower and middle classes by in large.
Restoring the heart of America and solidifying family first and strong family values by removing government and corporate acts within the American citizens home.
Yes.
N/A
Yes.
I would like to see a 12 year max across the board within the congress at each of the chambers. Six terms as a US Rep and Two Terms as a Senator.
Yes, and in which ever capacity would increase the liberties and rights of the American citizen.
James Madison: After the ratification of the Constitution, Madison emerged as an important leader in the United States House of Representatives and served as a close adviser to President George Washington. He was the main force behind the ratification of the United States Bill of Rights, which enshrines guarantees of personal freedoms and rights within the Constitution.
My constituents are very concerned and confused as to why non citizens are treated better then citizens are.
