I was a career Public Affairs Officer with assignments in Germany, South Korea, California, Maryland, North Carolina, and Colorado. I was deployed twice to Iraq.
As the Director of Public Affairs for the United States Air Force Academy, I was responsible for the Academy's national-level Community Relations and Media Relations programs. I was also the Chief, National Affairs for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) & United States Space Command.
After retiring from the military, I was the Co-owner/Administrator of Nouis Home Care - a family-owned and operated Assisted Living facility for disabled veterans, the disadvantaged, and the homeless in my hometown of Little Falls, Minnesota.
- I'm dedicated to keeping our communities safe.
- I'm dedicated to providing a quality education to our children.
- I'm dedicated to protecting taxpayers and the rights of citizens.
Our public schools are failing our children. Test scores from standardized testing in Reading and Math are falling. Children are frustrated with the Common Core Curriculum. They are being more indoctrinated than educated. We are seeing the results of that indoctrination on our nation's streets as more and more of our youth are viewing Socialism as a viable economic system even though that system has a history of utter failure.
An inspirational book for me is Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Written in the 1950s, this book was visionary in foreseeing the clash between capitalism and socialism/communism. Although the book has been classified as fiction, we are seeing the predicted clash play out on our streets today.
Be accessible, responsive, and respectful to all. You are representing everyone in the district.
