| “ | What is your political philosophy?
I support more freedom for parents to choose what is best for their children, more opportunities for our small businesses, less regulation and greater healthcare choice. Is there anything you would like to add? I came to North Carolina in 1990 to attend Wake Forest University on an Army ROTC scholarship. After serving in the Army in both Korea and Germany as an officer I returned to North Carolina. I have lived Wake County since 1999. I met my wife who also served in the Army here in Wake County in 2000. Yvonne and I have been happily married since 2004. I have worked in Wake’s dynamic Information Technology (IT) sector since 2000. I earned an Associate’s degree in Telecommunications and Network Engineering from our own local Wake Tech in 2003. Life changes quickly in IT and learning to deal with that change and learning that change is the only constant has been important in shaping my outlook on a variety of subjects. I have done contract work in Hawaii, Japan and in support of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have attended classes in India and traveled globally. When people talk about competing in a global and changing economy I understand what they mean.[10] |
