I'm a 33 year career firefighter and a veteran. I have lived in Saco since 2000 years with his wife. I have 2 adult daughters. I served 4 years active duty as a firefighter in the Air Force from 1986-1990. After active duty, I continued serving in the Air Force Reserves for an additional 10 years.

I believe the citizens of Maine need to be represented by people who care about them and seek change that works for them.


My life as a public servant and veteran prepares me for this office. Currently, we have a majority of Representatives that just rubber stamp bills and think that Maine should be like other US states . Maine has a lifestyle and culture that should not be compared to other states like California.


I feel that my leadership abilities and experience to understand everyone's view on everyday issues will allow me to best represent the citizens of District 15. A major campaign platform is responsible State spending. The State of Maine's budget should be run no different than the household budget. There needs to be responsible spending based on needs and realistic revenue streams, along with a rainy day savings for unanticipated situations and emergencies.
  • Responsible fiscal spending.
  • Establish smart rules and laws that apply to Mainers
  • Economic recovery from Covid-19 that focuses on small business and Maine citizens
State Budget • Stabilizing Taxes • Medical Civil Liberties • School Choice • Repeal Rank Choice Voting
I believe I am honest and lead my life with integrity. My life as a firefighter and military member instilled confidence and that I needed to be accountable to myself and others who depended on me. As a fire department chief officer I needed to make quality decisions in a moments notice that were safe for my fellow firefighters. Other characteristics that I used and believe that will help me be the best Representative are: Commitment and Passion, Good Communicator/Listener, Empathetic, Humble, Tough and Resilient, Transparency.
My first job at age 16 was as a dishwasher at a local restaurant in Trumbull CT. I worked there for 3 years until I left for military active duty. I worked my way up to prep cook and working behind the line a a cook. Towards the end of my time, I would relieve the chefs on there days off and fill in as the chef and responsible person running the kitchen. I really enjoyed that and it showed me how to be responsible for myself and others.
