My family and I were brought to Maine via the United States Navy, and my wife and I loved it so much, we couldn't imagine raising our five children anywhere else. Maine's incredible agriculture, diverse landscape, tight-knit communities, and endless opportunities are a recipe for the wholesome American childhood we dream of for future generations. 

 

The last couple of years have highlighted how grossly unrepresented We the People actually are in local and state government. Having recently retired from 20 years of active duty service in the Navy, I bring a unique perspective to Augusta. After experiencing multiple global cultures and working with their governments, I understand what serves citizens and what ultimately infringes on their liberty and ability to prosper. I aim to revitalize citizen participation in the legislative process by involving and educating my constituents on the issues coming through the State House.
