I am a classical pianist and expert Scrabble player, who never once should have to think about running for office. However, with things currently being SO dysfunctional and corrupt, I simply felt that I had to at least throw my hat in the ring and bring attention to the Libertarian party, which is currently the only party calling for sound money, lower taxes, total school choice, ending the wars, and restoring the constitution. With the LP having recently been completely overtaken by the Mises Caucus, I am now fully in line with the direction of the party. Want less government? Vote for me!
School choice is probably what I'm most passionate about, having a son with autism. The public system in Michigan, Maryland, and now Nevada, has been a disaster and failed him miserably. We pulled him out of school in two different years, homeschooling him, as the services and aides at the public schools were SO bad and untrained. Currently, he's in his last year of school here in CCSD and we're on the verge of pulling him once again, it's so bad. Nevada has the 2nd-lowest performance of all the states and I would use my first BDR to draft school choice legislation similar to that recently passed in Arizona. If people don't like the service they're getting from the public system, they should be able to take their own tax dollars private, not just the wealthy. Fund students, not systems!

I'm also passionate about getting the government out of our lives whenever possible...from licensing, to regulations, to civil asset forfeiture, to the state commerce tax, to the slush funds, to exposing all the pay-to-play nature of NV politics, my primary focus is to reduce the size and scope of the NV government, as much as possible.
