DETAILED BIOGRAPHY

 

Core Values:

I believe in the representative form of government that our nation's Founders intended. That means I will listen to and learn from my constituents, the people of District 2 and represent them. I will vote on the issues presented to me in Congress, not for my personal convictions, but cast my votes as the majority of the people in District 2 want the issues decided.

I embrace the conservative Republican values of liberty, property rights, and equal opportunities for everyone. The federal government has grown too large and too intrusive in our people's affairs, I will work to reverse that indignity and affront to our people's character and integrity.

I value my experiences in business and international travel. These experiences have prepared me for this challenge that I have undertaken, as a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives. I will faithfully execute the duties of that office if elected, and uphold and defend the Constitution, as it was written.

Brief Personal Bio:

I was born at Kindley A.F.B. Bermuda in July 1957, of deployed American military parents.

I lived at Mountain Home A.F.B., Idaho from April 1959 until 22 November, 1963. I clearly remember the day of my family's move from Idaho. My grandparents were driving my mother, brothers and I through Las Vegas towards San Diego, when we heard the news over the car radio that President Kennedy had died. We took the train across America, then flew to our new home at Bitburg A.F.B in Germany to join my father. The first thing we saw on TV there, was Kennedy's funeral.

I graduated from high school in Tucson, Arizona. I began working, then bought my first house at age 19. I worked at an open pit copper mine near Tucson, but eventually started a career as a construction electrician.

In February 1983 I moved to San Diego, California with the idea of learning how to sail. That November, I joined a sailboat as crew and sailed to Mexico, with the intent of hitchhiking my way to Australia. I sailed south to Costa Rica and Panama and then turned west. I visited the Galapagos Islands, the Tuamotus Islands, Tahiti, the Cook Islands, Tonga, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea before finally arriving in Brisbane Australia, after eight months sailing. I stayed in Australia for 10 months, traveling around that country before returning home to America.

In 1995, I began a part-time Internet business Beefjerky.com, which I continue today as my primary business. I also have done other work as an electronics and robotics technician, aerospace consultant, vice-president of a start-up spacecraft company, and as a network architecture designer.

In April 2002 I moved to Carson City, Nevada until May, 2006, when I moved to Twin Falls, Idaho.
