After attending EWU and earning a Masters in Computer Science with a focus on A.I. and network security I was unable to find employment in Eastern Washington, and had to move to Ohio where I supported the Department of Energy, securing their systems (and met my lovely wife). My career eventually took me to the DC area, where I built and led a team of 45 exceptionally talented researchers supporting various DoD agency cyber missions, before finally returning home to the West Plains in 2015, to be closer to my family, and start a new one of our own with my wife Laurie.
Since moving here, I have looked for ways to serve this community, first as a Lt with fire district 3, and as a substitute at our daughter, Fiona’s, school. I recently wanted to find a way that I could have an impact at a more systemic level, and am now working with the Spokane County Democrat’s as Vice Chair and am a candidate for the 9th LD.- Every member of our community deserves respect and equality, irrespective of their race, creed, orientation, or beliefs. Our nation was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, endowed with unalienable rights including Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Recognizing that our work to fully realize these rights is ongoing, I am committed to furthering this cause and enshrining equality in our laws.
- The hyper-partisan nature of current American politics, exacerbated by gerrymandering and winner-take-all elections, calls for a return to true democratic principles. I advocate for implementing fairer voting systems such as Ranked Choice Voting, ensuring election integrity, and improving voter access.
- The land and water of Eastern Washington are not merely resources to be used, but are central to the identity and livelihood of our communities. I am dedicated to the sustainable management and protection of these precious resources for both current and future generations.
