Born in Germany where my Vietnam veteran father was stationed, my familys service in the military also included Omaha NE, Alconbury AFB in England until I moved to Bangor in 1984. I attended Garland st Middle School and Bangor High my first few years. I graduated in the early 90's from John Bapts Memorial High School when Maine was #1 for education. I earned the rank of Eagle Scout with The Great Troop 8 in Bangor thanks to the help of some brilliant leadership and dedicated scouts that supported and assisted me. I attended the university of Maine at Presque Isle for 3 years before beginning my work career in retail management as a Wal Mart tire and lube express manger in upstate New York. My employees earned Store of the year for our region in Niles Michigan my first full year as manager. I came home to Maine and worked for Irving oil in management and later in leadership at Parts America in greater Bangor. In the early part of this millennium I relocated to the Bay area in California where I enjoyed years in the hospitality industry. I got my start on the mortgage side of real estate before returning to Bangor for good in the mid 2000's I accelled in real estate from the beginning. Representing buyers and sellers across the Bangor area for 10 years. 7 months of the downturn I went without a paycheck, so I understand the struggle many have today. Eventually I returned to carpentry to make ends meet until now, I am choosing to be a statesman.
  • Maine was number 1 in the Union for education when I graduated high school. Today it is near the bottom. I want to return us to our former glory focusing on reading and writing for our children.
  • We need to reignight the American dream. If we stop the out of control spending that is driving inflation and robbing the middle class of their ability to raise a family and prosper as small business owners, farmers and employees of local businesses. Fostering the growth of young business owners and families will ignite what was once one of the top states in the union.
  • Protecting our Constitutional Republic. Not once in our founding fathers constitution does it say democracy. I believe and support every word of our constitution andencourage all to do the same. It might not be perfect but it has been modeled after by many a nation trying to achieve the greatness our founding fathers did achieve.
Support for those struggling to improve their mental health. Programs of recovery for addicts. Support for our veterans and our first responders. Help for the elderly dealing with dementia or Alzheimer's. Programs for our increasing numbers of families with children on the autism spectrum. Research into why turbo cancers are now so prevalent in our young adults.
One my unborn grandchildren can be proud of.
The good book. It's is a handbook for a good life in my humble opinion.
Yes, we are all working the will of the people, by the people, for the people
Where can I be of service to my constituents. Their will, not mine be done.
