I am husband, a father of four school age children, lifelong West Virginia and after learning about the lack of choices on primary and general election ballots decided to make thing a bit more interesting.

I believe West Virginian's work too hard for too little to have the same or similarly choices every year. Previously ran as an Independent in 2004 and I still believe power unopposed continues to grow and to corrupt.

  • I believe the voters deserve a hard-working candidate that treats everyone with respect, regardless of party affiliation and who can relate with them.
  • I am a firm believer in our country's founding documents, small government, balance budget and not wasting money!
  • I believe government is not the only solution for all the problems in the world and it is just as important getting rid of bad legislation as it is passing legislation.
Working to improve education. We own the children so much better they are currently getting. I can bring fresh set of eyes that is not own by special interest groups or a political party.

Bring term limits because elected position should not be a permanent career. Two terms for all offices will help keep our elected official humble and because every generation needs a chance to step up and serve.

Government waste. West Virginia has no room for wasting the taxpayer's money. I will do my best to find and end it. Political machine may try to stop me but trust me everyone is going to hear about it and see it because wasting this limited resource sets all West Virginia's back!
