I've been considered a Karate Guru-I own and operate Harmony Karate in NYC for 26 years which has been rated in the top 10 martial arts schools in the US.

I am Chairman of the Harmony Foundation-Mission statement is "stand up to bullying and stand for human equality." Established 1st mandated anti-bullying program in the major city of Elizabeth NJ. I hold ten world records, with my latest being bare knuckle pushups in thirty seconds as a tribute to end anti-semitism and veteran homelessness. I am a proud Air Force Veteran. In the past, during my time in the Air Force, I was a building manager, a dietician supervisor, and an Air Force entertainer that traveled the US. As a martial arts break dance entertainer, I performed on the Apollo Theater stage 4 times and was the choreographer of 72 episodes of MTV.

I am a proud father and dedicated husband of 3 children.
  • Reform public education to fit the needs of our children.
  • Meaningful health care reform that includes TORT Reform.
  • Realistic economic policies that establish budgetary practices that don't mortgage our nation's future away.
I am passionate about reforming public education in our country. We need to limit the amount of standardized testing we have. There should be diagnostic testing that helps place children in courses that they enjoy and that will prepare them for their future. I'd also like to take the Harmony Foundation's Anti-bullying program (that is the first mandated one in the country thanks to Elizabeth Public Schools) to a national level. We need to make sure our children feel safe in school and are in the best environment to socially and emotionally grow. We need to improve school health programs to include healthier meal options as well as more physically active time.
I believe we need to have fair justice reforms. This includes having every police officer have a body camera and vehicle camera at all times. This protects police and citizens at the same time. We need to reform health care-we can start with covering more preventative and natural remedies as well as capping lawsuits with TORT Reforms. Also, my education reforms (with improving meals and increasing physical activity) work hand-in-hand in bringing down longer-term care issues we commonly see today.
There is none as I completely different from much of what I have seen. Most of what I have seen are politicians who finger point and have done little to nothing for people.
Having done more for the people than any other congressman in the history of the US.
Baker Apprentice for 3 years from age 16-19
Dealing with those who lack true integrity.
A congressman has the power to create and lobby bills that define changes the country truly needs. Congressman need to be with great integrity and passion in order for the right changes to occur.
People need to be way more focused on their own self love and self care. Waiting for the government to save them when it is 26 trillion in debt is not facing reality. However, small methodical system changes in education, medical, and police reform will undoubtedly bring more peace and harmony to our country.
My initial thoughts are to focus on getting reforms moving before considering committees.
No one. I am inspired by Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and Abraham Lincoln.
