Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a 45 year old Navy Veteran. I have lived in Louisville for over a decade, and am proud to call it my home. I am a proud member of the Greater Faith Church of Deliverance. From a young age I have always strived to help people. From my service to our country to working in customer support for over 20 years. I am currently attending Law School at our own Brandeis School of Law. One of the reasons I chose to attend Law school was so I could help those that need help. This is why I want to serve as District 23’s representative on the Metro City Council, so I can serve my fellow citizens. I would be proud to serve using all of my talents and abilities to help my fellow citizens and through that service helping Louisville to be the place we all want it to be.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I believe that those who serve the people should be accountable for their actions.
• I think we need to get back to the truth.
• We need rules and laws in place to prevent blatant lies from being told by those we elect to office.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Truth and Accountability, in both politics and every area of government. Being a law student I am very interested in teh justice system and how we can improve it and fix old systemic issues.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

Laws that govern our country often start at the local level. Cities pass ordinances, when enough of the cities have the same or similar laws the state will adopt these laws. Once state legislatures start enacting these laws they can then pass into federal law if needed or other states will simply follow suit with similar laws. If we can reform laws at the city level it will in time move to help people nation wide.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Truth and accountability.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I am truthful. I try to be friendly to everyone. I try to be helpful. I am a great listener. I am patient.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To serve the people they represent, not an organization or party or even themselves.

What legacy would you like to leave?

If I can bring TRUTH back into government and politics that will be enough.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The Challenger explosion was the first real historical event I remember, I was about 10 years old.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was working at McDonalds. I worked there for about 1-2 years before joining the Navy.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Strangers in the night.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

Many in our current government, at all levels, are lifers. They are more interested in getting re-elected than in helping the people. While there is a level of benefit to previous experience, I think for our country to continue to grow we need new blood in the system.
