Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am the son of wonderful parents, who along with great teachers and many work-related and relational experiences, are to be credited for any good that I have done. I have been poured into by my teachers and professors up through my master program and I strongly desire to help my community through the gifts that I have been given. I am the President of our 4th generation family business. I am a long-term chairman of the board of several significant organizations. I have led almost every organization I have been associated with since I was a young man. I am now 51 years young. I do not NEED this statehouse "job". I do not believe that our current (appointed for political expediency) state rep is qualified to help our County and so I am compelled to do something other than criticize his performance.

I can do more than just report on the whirlwind of activity that this issue has causedLife can be very hard at times and so compassion for hurting people is important. I have had my share of difficulty thrust upon me and so have become more gentle as I have aged. Public policy that steers the ship of state should have a realization of this reality. This calls for wisdom as we must balance all the competing issues. Sometimes that means that the state should stay out of some things that local government and organitzations can do better.

Constitutional freedom issues, job and business issues, fiscal responsible spending / tax policy

Abraham Lincoln. Because he loved his county more than his life

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

The failures of Jimmy Carter--5 yrs old

I have had many struggles granted to me, all for my good but I strive to know how to best respond
