Who Am I?

I have been married to my wife Angela for over 20 years and have two daughters who I love very much. I have recently gone back to college and attained a Bachelor Degree in Applied Management from Franklin University. I am currently attending Ashford University in pursuit of a Master's Degree in Business Administration with the discipline of Organizational Leadership. I have been a factory and union worker for over 20 years. I currently am a Project Supervisor for a company that does quality control in the automotive and medical industries.

Why Am I Running?

I was inspired to run for office because I don't like how things in Ohio are being done. I feel I can make a difference by protecting those who are under attack by the present administration. State Representative will give me the power to make sure bills like SB5 never see the light of day. I am a working man and plan to protect those workers who only want their part of the American dream.

Hold Me Accountable!

My top two goals in my first year in office is to promote new jobs for my district and promote education. This district has seen massive job losses with the present administration doing nothing about it. I feel that meeting monthly with county and local leaders to come up with ideas on how to bring in new companies is a great way to start promoting our assets in this district. Education is essential so we have a skilled workforce to attract new companies here. I plan to fight any cuts in Pell Grants or student loans so anyone can attend college to better their lives.

My DFA values:

My campaign is all about community, security, and liberty. These were rights established by those who came before us. I plan to promote economic development so people in my community can have jobs so they grab a piece of the American dream. I also plan to preserve our safety service workers that will promote security. Liberty is freedom or independence. Our current administration is trying to remove liberty with bills like SB5. I plan to preserve liberty by fighting against bills that will limit anyone from their rights.

My Campaign is People-Powered!

My campaign is totally people powered. I plan to go door to door with several volunteers to talk face to face with the voters so they can see what I am all about. I also plan to hold town hall style meetings regularly so all voters will have their chance to ask questions to see what I stand for.
