Retired IT professional with substantial experience as an analyst. Bulk of my career in the transportation industry.

  • I am an excellent analyst... significant in Covid environment

  • Ethical, critical, credible and honest.

  • Have been described as a cross between a bulldog and a mongoose.

Reasonable legislative constraints for a free market economy.
A handful of men in my life. My father, Tom. John Cheeseman. Marty Herf. Dad provided direction and stability. Marty showed me "I" had value. John mentored me.
Honesty. Integrity. Initiative. Credibility. Work ethic. To a certain extent, empathy.
I am a "thinker"... a ponderer... I can absorb large quantities of data and come to a decision... quickly.
Honesty. Integrity. Initiative. Credibility. Work ethic. Availability.
Do no harm. Earn respect.
McDonald's... From 1968 thru 1974. Rose to store manager at age 18. Resigned to go to college.
To Kill a Mockingbird. It's one of the few books that was just as good in film as it was in print. Gregory picked it and outstanding job. The book itself, well, it speaks for itself. I would recommend that anyone who has not read it should immediately go find a copy and spend a day. Well worth it.
Spock. Perhaps "Leonard" from Big Bang Theory.
Auld Lang Syne. I listen to it repeatedly this last week. Not sure why. I also truly truly appreciate the song Amazing Grace.
I am GREAT at working WITH people, but have zero interest or skill in having people work FOR me.
Not a great deal of difference. Both are responsible to the average citizen. Senate "perhaps" carries more weight as there a fewer senators.
Yes. I hope to gain that to improve the value of what I can offer. But, I strongly believe in term limits.
A decade is a long time. First, Covid. Second, infrastructure. Third, infrastructure. Yep, twice. Fourth education. Fifth, availability of health insurance.
Friendly but at arm's length. Truat but verify, to quote a great President.
Absolutely. Legislation and negotiation go hand in hand. Can't negotiate without a relationship.
Nope. Well, MAYBE Nikki Haley. Yeah, I know, she's a Republican... But, hey!!!
