I graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) with a bachelors in Human Nutrition Foods & Exercise and later received my Doctorate from Life University. For the next two and a half years I lived abroad, where I worked with specialists from around the world involving research with neurodegenerative diseases; mainly multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's. Upon returning to the states I met and married my beautiful wife Dr. Kanema Clark and we have both been blessed with four daughters Kayla, Ariella, Chiara and Michaela.
Due to the current landscape of the country he was convicted to reorganize his business priorities and join the fight for freedom in America. In closing, he refers to himself as a normal everyday American who simply decided to answer a call. What makes him special is the same thing that makes each of us special; He loves this country, is dedicated to the flag, is guided by our constitution and only kneels before God!- We must yield that our rights are God given and that the purpose of government is to secure those rights not infringe upon them.
- We owe it to the American people to provide an economically rich environment filled with opportunities for all. We can accomplish this Sound fiscal policy including but not limited to: eradicating wasteful spending by passing a balance budget amendment, lowering taxes, allowing line item veto authority, 3 to 1 ratio regarding the passage of any new legislation (eliminate 3 growth stifling regulations for every new bill passed), completely reform our entitlement system, meaningful healthcare reform with an emphasis on shielding veterans, the disabled and our elderly, and bring manufacturing back to the US.
- Neutralize foreign influence on critical aspects of our infrastructure by restricting access to land & business purchases with detailed parameters, finishing the wall and restructuring our immigration process, regaining energy independence while simultaneously allowing for energy innovation, and restoring the Reagan principle of "Peace through Strength" by rebuilding an unmatched military.
