I use to write software for state-of-the-art military drones as a software engineer. After realizing I was contributing to more destruction than construction, I quit my job without a plan to travel the world and start a podcast. That journey has led me to now running to make America and the world a better place for our kids.
  • Free Food without chemicals! We must return to local regenerative farming
  • Free Indigo Education. Our education system needs and upgrade. We must teach kids about meditation, breath work, and more
  • Free Medication. If our body’s are not pain-free, then we cannot pursue our passions
All of them, because they are all connected. I am particularly interested in upgrading our system to bring in the change that was promised with the turn of the century. Our minds and souls are ready for the future, it’s time that our policies in government reflect that.
I don’t know that there is one. I’d recommend my podcast, Traveling to Consciousness as I will use that to communicate with The People.
Honesty, transparency, willingness to learn, being okay with saying “I don’t know”, have a vision for a brighter future, want to see the best for every citizen
I know how to listen and I have a vision that brings up everyone of all races and genders in all countries of the world.
To represent The People above special interest and themselves. They must always make difficult decisions.
Bringing peace to Earth. The Bible calls this the New Earth.
I worked on Riley’s farm when I was a kid for a fall. Packing marshmallows for people.
The Power of Now because that started the journey that ultimately led to me to finding myself.
Dr. Strange. I’m a big Marvel nerd and I always felt like he was the coolest - origin story and everything.
If I Can Dream by Elvis Presley - I know, sounds cheesy, but it was my #2 song on Spotify Wrapped in 2023
Learning how to let go when it is time to move on.
For one, it’s ability to make a pass laws. But more importantly, it’s ability to balance out the senate - which, we must have a conversation about increasing the size of the US House of Representatives. It’s far smaller than what was intended
All that is needed is a pure vision and to lead with one’s heart.
Unity. We are a divided country because we have decisive leaders. We must come together and love each other. Otherwise, our nation and our relationships will crumble.
Might need to be 4 years. But I’ll have a better idea on this after winning. For this campaign, I pledge to not touch it. Then if I feel it needs upgraded, I’ll make that apart of my 2026 campaign
We need them. For this to happen, we need to vote OUT all of the republicans and democrats. These are unlikely to happen until that occurs first.
There are many great leaders of past in present and to name any would do an injustice to the others. There is much that can be learned from them all. However, I plan to only model myself off of what my heart guides me to do.
When the Pittsburgh community comes together to support our fallen brother and sisters. I saw this with the synagogue shooting and when Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field.
> knock knock

> whose there?
> boo
> boo who?
> no need to cry, it’s just a joke

🙃
It is important to get other’s opinions on approaching solutions, but there should rarely be compromise. If politicians have the best interest of The People at heart, then no compromise will be necessary because the best policy will be put forth. Intention matters.
I will be writing many, many bills. With the intention of getting it on the record of where congressmen and women stand on the most important issues.
Thoroughly and justly. We must investigate any serious evidence thoroughly and restrain from using our biases to jump to conclusions. We must also reframe from public comment until the investigation is complete.
