Expand all | Collapse all

I am a 12th generation American. Married 40years ( Patricia ) . Father of 8 children and 22 grandchildren.. Manager in transportation . Managed 600 employees (525 teamsters local 430 Harrisburg PA).. Owned freight employee business with 200-400 employees based on season..Owned 3 Auntie Anne pretzel fanchises. Owned 30 acre compost farm specializing in totally organic soil for organic growers.
  • Good food..Farmers are Florida's most valuable asset.As a civilization, country ,or state without the protection of our food source and the ability to provide our food source we cannot exist.
  • Good water. Florida's water situation is front and center. Drinking and bathing water in many parts of the state is accessible at only 5' deep. Poisons, must be kept out of our water systems..Our shorelines on both sides of the state must be free to enjoy beaches 24/7 365 days a year..Water issues must be addressed to make sure every citizen of Florida is protected from anything less than perfect water.
  • Good guns. I am 100% pro gun..The "Bill of Rights" has 10 amendments..right behind freedom of the right to free assembly,religion and speech the Founders knew to protect the first Amendment citizens would need the right to bear arms..I agree.
I am passionate about protecting Florida from Far Left Agendas that are capable of destroying our state if implemented. Citizens should be protected from " strangle hold" regulations that governments if not held in check are capable of doing. For day to day survival our food, water, and guns must be protected.
The office of Commissioner of Agriculture has 3600 employees. 18 departments, 300 different commodities..the Position requires a seasoned manager who both knows business and knows how to get his hands dirty. My work and life history shows my experience in both.
An elected official can never forget that He or She is a public servant. The world is becoming a very dangerous place. Elected officials must take on the mind of a protector and quardian..Loyalty, integrity and honesty cannot be just be " political cliches" ..
My personal responsibility would be to protect Florida from any internal or out of state threat. I would consider myself as a guardian for all Floridians.
Food, Water, and Guns ( protection ) are the top of the list..Federal intervention, if not reasonable to the Florida citizenry would have to be put in check.
Compassion for your fellow citizen combined with business experience and the ability to understand the fundamental needs of food , water, and self protection are key components that certainly do not require any political history.
