Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a husband and father of four who grew up in Virginia, in a single-parent household, working from the time I was 16. I put myself through college working fill-time, earning a BS in Business with a concentration in Management Information Systems and later returned to school, earning a Masters Certificate in Health Policy.

I spent over half of my career as a consultant, working across the nation and the world to solve technical and business problems for Fortune 500 companies. My experiences cross industries, from financial services and insurance to cruise lines and pharmaceutical distribution. I bring a broad, wide-ranging perspective to the table for any problems, providing unique perspectives on how systems work and how to make them better.

I am a problem solver. It is what I have done for 30 years and I want to bring it to the house.

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?

We need to protect our Democracy. Democrats, Independents, and REAL conservatives need to come together to make sure no more radical right-wing politicians are elected. Those previously elected need to be sent home in the next cycle. I am confident that the American experiment depends on it.Gerrymandering and other Republican attacks on voter rights, currently underway in NC and across the country, need to be stopped. The current wave of voter suppression legislation and ideas such as “Election Police” are based on lies, only designed to undermine the will of the voter and entrench a single party. All Americans deserve to participate in our government and have their voices heard. Attempts to suppress those voices through calculated legislation and manipulation of voter rolls must come to an end.Our campaign finance systems must change. At the core of many of our country’s issues is the barrier to entry for those who are our best candidates. A candidate for federal office currently needs millions of dollars to run. The effect of this is two fold - either the candidate has millions of dollars they can throw at their own campaign or the candidate must go begging, allowing the wealthy and special interests to pay for access and influence. Big money donors and the super-rich are always looking for a return on their investment. We MUST get private money out of politics.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Key areas of Concern:

Voter Rights/Ballot Access

Health Care Reform

Campaign Finance Reform

Criminal Justice Reform

Equal Rights
