I am a self employed same day transportation entrepreneur and citizen statesman. My day-to-day work involves owning and operating a cargo van and a drone aircraft. I was born in Woodstock and grew up in Crystal Lake. I am single and live in Algonquin with my rescue cat Ruthie. I volunteer for the McHenry County Emergency Management Agency where I serve as a mentor among other crucial roles, and I am a frequent blood donor to the Red Cross. I joined the Libertarian Party in 2017 but I have known that I was a libertarian since 2003. My late best friend Brian had stumbled across the Neal Boortz radio show and we both finally felt like we weren't alone politically as we always thought. Over the years I have gone from a non-voter to a renegade activist and then I found my place in the McHenry County Libertarians where I serve as chapter secretary. I attended our state convention in 2021 and was nominated to be a delegate for our national convention in Reno in 2022. Not only did I accept, I served on our national Platform Committee and sang in the first-ever national Libertarian Party choir while being a delegate in Reno. I also had the pleasure of helping to drive a great friend's wheelchair van to the convention as he made his way there from New York and back. I will continue to be a Libertarian in 2023, 2024, and on win or lose. But the plan is to win.

I am a certified search and rescue professional. I volunteer my time to our local Emergency Management Agency, an agency that is mostly staffed by volunteers and has a minimal number of necessary paid employees. I am running for election because I was inspired by another individual who ran.
