I believe that America is the greatest nation in history and we, as citizens, must work keep it that way.
I have called Tampa home since 1982. I graduated from Hillsborough High School, and before that attended Egypt Lake Elementary and Bryan/Oak Grove/ and Middleton Middle Schools earning my Eagle Scout along the way.
I enlisted in the Marine Corps while attending Florida State University and was commissioned upon graduation. The 9/11 attacks happened while I was in flight school and routine training became an immediate preparation for war. I deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan in aviation and ground combat roles.
I ran a small business for a few years and am now a Senior Project Manager for an international Engineering and technology firm.- Real - The candidtae you meet will be the same person representing you in Washington.
- Rational - I will pursue rational solution; not over-reactions like closing down the outdoors in the name of pseudo-science for political gain.
- Results- Whether supervising construction of a multi-family building, implanting cloud technologies, or managing international crisis-response operations, I get things done. I will apply my detail-oriented methods to my role as a legislator and ensure bills that help my constituents and the nation gain the support they need to move through congress
Security – This includes all aspects of security Border, Military and Cyber. We must protect America from all threats be it Fentanyl at our southern border; China’s aggressive actions; or Russian attacks on our digital infrastructure.
Being unapologetically American.
