I have been involved with state and local advocacy for over 25 years. I am a retired/disabled small business owner. Our restaurant served the south end community of Louisville for over 35 years My best accomplishment was as a middle school football coach for 6 years. I was proud to help young men transition into adulthood and witness their growth and accomplishments.
  • My first goal when elected is to prop up our law enforcement officers and first responders. I will be a strong advocate for better funding and better training for our police.
  • I plan to work hard to promote vocational training in the private sector as well as our public schools. I will be a strong proponent for Safety Resource Officers in our public schools.
  • I will be a strong advocate for small business. I first want to help create a safe environment in our community that will invited more growth. I will look at debilitating regulations that stifle current and new businesses. I will work hard to provide the infrastructure needed to promote new businesses in our area.
Police Funding and Training are first and foremost. Safety is priority over everything else.
I hope people will say that I keep my word. I believe in integrity. I am not afraid to speak truth to power while I represent my community. I am not beholden to any group or political action committee.
Communicating to the constituents I represent. Demanding shared focus on our community.
i hope people will remember as someone who was a voice for those who do not have a voice in public leadership.
