PERSONAL:
My background is solid, middle-class American. I am a proud father of three and grandfather of two.
I was born in 1957 and am one of seven children. My father served in the U.S. Army for 27 years and my mother was a homemaker. My siblings are successful professionals, consisting of a physician, a construction company owner, a sales rep, a business owner, a teacher and a lawyer. One of my siblings served in the U.S. Air Force and another served as U.S. Army Jag. Our parents taught us the value of a dollar — how hard every person had to work for it.
I joined the U.S. Navy shortly after graduating from Bartlett and worked on my college degree while serving. The Navy taught me skills for which I am forever grateful, and also taught me that I can succeed at anything if I work hard enough. During my years of service to our country, I never lost a life. I still have a strong desire to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
Enjoy playing the guitar, working out, hunting, fishing, Martial Arts and creating with my hands.
I consider myself a Statesman and not a politician. I am ethical, hard-working and already know what it means to serve our country. I believe I am fully qualified to now serve as your United States Representative for all Alaska. The foundation of this nation was built upon the ideas and actions of landowners, merchants, inventors and farmers. Not professional politicians. I am here to fight – and win — for the people of Alaska, and the Constitution of this great nation.
I hope you will support my efforts. Please feel free to contact me if you would like more information on my perspective or background.
