I am a computer programmer with two kids. I enjoy programming, taken photos and supporting freedom.
  • I don't believe the government should me telling adults what to do with their body or put in them.
  • I believe the government is taken to much of my money with really no return.
  • I believe we are getting to focus on granular types and not focusing on the bigger picture of human rights.
The government believes it knows best for the people and it does not.

I am a computer programmer, have two young kids. One is five and the other one is three years old. My youngest was born with hearing issues. Their mom and I are in the process of learning ASL with him. Besides politics, I am pretty passionate about riding my motorcycle.
Human rights and privacy are two things I am really passion about. I believe they go hand-in-hand.
My view on how personal freedom and personal choice can be most of the right answer.
The first person I ever looked up to and still look up to is Daryl Davis. Him trying to understand why the KKK hates black people. He did not go to yell, or try to change their mind but to understand. Which he tried to understand them. Not tell them they were wrong, bad people, voice hate but try to understand and listen to them. I believe that has been missing on all sides for so long. I try my hardest to do the same.
Standing up for what I believe in. Given everyone the right to choice what they believe is best for them.
The first historical event I can remember was the war on drugs. How DARE was used in school to tell us how bad drugs was. I was in the 4th or 5th grade when recall all this coming into the schools.
My very first job was working at Arbys at 15 years old. I worked there for a total about fiver years. When I was 17 I started waiting tables. I would work at Arby's part time and would help them out. If they were short staffed.
Chris Nielsen form what dream my come of. I love the idea of that connection he had with his wife. How he would give up everything for what/who he loved.
Everything is Awesome Lego Movie song
Trying to understand everyone's view point and getting everyone to open up and listen.
The powers are with the people. I think the people forget how they can make changes if they stand up. If a small area of people can stand up to the local government. That government can start up the the bigger government.
No, I believe you need to know whats going on in the real world to make changes in the government. Most people in government live and breath the government life and fail to see what is going on locally in their area.
