Submitted Biography: "I am an individual that knows there is a cooler future for our country, and humanity, if we choose to create it with purpose. To that I will add, I was born in Indio, California year that Supreme Court was re-hearing arguments about women's liberty and family planning. In '76 I found myself living in Globe, Arizona taking a cross country road trip to Olympics in Canada. I ended up back in California getting my first lesson in geopolitics with gas shortage of '79. My 3 years in Eugene, Oregon is where I got introduced to our ever-changing climate when EPA started flexing against timber industry. Finally made it to Washington in '83 when I realized that my study of economics would begin on Mercer Island. On my way to Congressional District 8 I did time on East Coast, 3 months in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and 6 months in rural Pennsylvania about 30 minutes east of Philly. I have been in Issaquah for 11 years now and a record setting 6 years at same address. I am a total of all these experiences, and I choose to create a more perfect future for us and our posterity. #Hateislackoflove"

|My mother divorced my father and moved the both of us out of the Coachella Valley in 1980 to the Pacific Northwest following my future step-father, who graduated from Indio High School with both my them. We spent 3 years in Eugene where I started to learn about our Planet when my mother would take me along volunteering with Green Peace. I can still imagine that taste of licking manila envelopes. The remaing 40 years was mainly spent within an 11 mile radius of Mercer Island, Washington, with brief stays in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and a little over 2 years in Cheney, Washinton. I have never been married or seeded children. I consider myself an introvert, so I really have no desire to make public speeches and with the amount of work that needs to be done I think that a productive thing. I have moved back to the Coachella Valley after 43 years to build a better relationship with my family that lives here and the surrounding area.
I am an independent wanting to disrupt the 170 year stanglehold on our narrative by the 2 major factions.- Abolish Daylight Saving Time while reducing the budget by 30%.
- Finally switch our units of measurement to the metric system while reducing the budget by 30%.
- Establish term limits on members of Congress while reducing the budget by 30%.
A National emergency that shuts down large parts of our infrastructure.
The ever widening wealth gap.

|My intentions are benevolent.
I will keep coming back until I retire at 70 or we find ourself, as a Union, in a more perfect future.
- If there was only one thing to get done that would be term limits. Both major parties are exhausting and have over 150 years controlling our national narrative. Technology is showing there are way more then just two sides and 22nd century needs 21st century thinking.
