I am an average American. I have made plenty of mistakes in my life and learned numerous lessons from my failures and defeats. I have been poor, tired and felt helpless. I have gone through what the majority of politicians can't understand as their wealth and positions of power have helped them stay afloat when many Americans have suffered. I want to change that!!!

 

I believe that most constituents do not trust their elected officials. I want to bring (back) trust and respect to politicians which can only be done by upholding the principles of a good person. Many politicians are in office for long periods of time and accumulate massive wealth while never accomplishing what their districts need or want; the whole reason they are elected to office. Too many politicians are worried about personal gain, hidden agendas or “party” politics and have forgotten the people they represent.

I refuse to run a campaign of mudslinging. I will only discuss pertinent topics causally related to the campaign. I will back up my platform by providing proof that I have stood up for the North Country populace.

I was born and raised in the farm country of southern Michigan. I grew up in the outdoors, playing sports, attending church events and working either on local farms or mowing grass to earn an income. I graduated from Homer High School in Homer, Michigan and went to college at Siena Heights College (now University) in Adrian, Michigan. I met my future wife and left college to support my new family after a semester in college. We have 3 children and 2 grandchildren.
