Former city council member, Retired international trade analyst, businessman

I was born November 8, 1967 in Wyandotte, MI.

I grew up in a working-class family, very strict Catholic setting in a Polish household. Pretty typical Wyandotte up-bringing.

I went to public schools and attended Henry Ford Community College from 1985 – 1988. I have an associates degree, in which I studied architecture, engineering, journalism and political science.

I worked normal restaurant jobs through HS and College.

I spent 31 years in International Trade working for three Customs House Brokers, as an analyst and operations manager.

I'll tell you this about woking in international trade. It gives you a vast opportunity to see how the whole world really works at many levels. To see economics at work in raw form and get up close and personal with mountains of Federal Government Red Tape. I could tell you things you simply would not believe. I could tell you nightmare stories about government over-regulation that would make you cry loudly for your mom.

My political interest started at age 5, watching the world news, reading newspapers and my dad telling me that the Nixon-Watergate hearings were something important. Even though I was a child, I knew my dad was telling me something significant.

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?

The U.S. Constitution does three things:

1. Sets up the structure and general guidelines of the Federal Government.

2. Specifies precise enumerated powers, given to the federal government and what is the responsibilities of the States and the people.

3. Specifies protections of inalienable rights, granted to individual citizens from God.

A member of Congress cannot vote YES on any legislation, that goes beyond or outside the Limitations of the Constitution.

This is NOT my opinion or analysis; this is an empirical FACT.From a Practical stand point, Poverty can be Impacted by the: Economic Democracy Act

A Practical Binary Economy is within reach, if LEADERS will embrace new ideas.

The War on Poverty federal government programs have failed.

It is not even a subject for debate. Use any metric and measurement. The Poverty rate in 1968 was 12.8%, in 2020 it was 11.4%.

Over 50 years of government programs/spending and all we accomplished is creating a dependent class for government money. That is NOT economic Freedom.Current Congressional committee/sub-committee structure is about 200.

The goal is to cut down on the number of staff, lobbyist influence and getting the federal government out of every aspect of our lives.

This is the very center of how The Establishment conducts daily business in DC.

I've been in those hallways, outside committee rooms and member's offices. I've personally witnessed the Lobbyists, Congressional staff, lawyers & power brokers make deals, selling out the voter.

It really is different when you see it in person. It would change the very core of what you think the government is. If every adult in America could see what I've seen. The two major parties would be done, gone. We would el

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The U.S. Constitution, Economics, National Security, Tax Policy, Border Security.

1972 elections, I was 5.

That's hard. A 4-way tie between Batman, The Punisher, Howard Beil and MI-6 agent, James Bond.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

John Quincy Adams and Abraham Lincoln.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

When a Lady told me she never votes, and she was VERY proud of it. I think she wanted an award. I think about at least once a month.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Sorry, I don't have a favorite joke.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

If you can get 75% of what you want, take it. Then swing back around later, and get the other 25%.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

I would submit an actual whole federal budget to the Speaker and to the budget sub-committee. It is known as proper fiduciary responsibility.

Within the confines of the Constitution.
