As an immigrant, honorably discharged US Army Veteran, married father and grandfather, entrepreneurial American who is concerned about his family, neighbors, State of Ohio and Country, I am motivated to do what is right to build up a better Neighborhood, City, State and Country.🇺🇸
- Prioritizing life, respecting the foundation of family, and a strong faith in God builds the best neighborhoods🇺🇸
- I live the code Duty, Honor, Country in service to both family and community🇺🇸
- A smaller government and lower taxes promotes an environment where businesses establish, workers are fulfilled and jobs are expanded for Ohio and America. In this way seniors are cared for and young people are nurtured.🇺🇸
Smaller government is the best government🇺🇸
Never Finished by David Goggins
I always encouage people to persist and never, ever give up. It does not matter how bleak the circumstance, I am a person who will never give up.
The Gathering Storm by Winston S. Churchill
Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway among numerous other books.
These books developed, align with and affirm my philosophy on never, ever giving up under any circumstance.
Yes. A legislator does not work or operate as a single entity. It is incumbent on the legislator to work with others as a team member, and to listen carefully in advancing the causes and concerns of constituents in concert with one's legislative colleagues who may or may not be aligned with constituent's concerns.🇺🇸
The legislature grants the use of emergency powers in case by case issues. Circumstances for use of emergency power are too unknown, broad and varied to be permitted carte-blanche.🇺🇸
Economic & Workforce Development
Armed Services &Veterans Affairs
Primary & Secondary Education🇺🇸
