Son of life-long welder and fabricator. Learned at a young age the value of a sound work ethic.
Joined the Marine Corps infantry in 2003 and spent the next decade seeing firsthand the challenges that face our shared human race. I like many others want to leave the planet in a better place than we found it, for our children and generations of others. I'll regret not trying everything possible to make a positive impact.- We need a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT to make 'Gerrymandering' ILLEGAL across all 50 states which leads to improper representation.
- We need a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT to create 'TERM LIMITS' that prevent career politicians.
- We are 1 human race, sharing 1 planet and 1 set of non-renewable resources - we need to evolve past the tribal us vs. them thinking and work together.
Moving healthcare to system that values outcomes over profit. No one should receive less/worse care because they're less fortunate. Healthcare should be universal.
Over-turn Citizens United which gives corporations an unlimited ability to pump dark money into our political system.
Leadership and humility.
Open-mindedness.
