Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 Word limit)

I served my community in Parent Teachers Associations Legislative, Neighborhood Associations, Knights of Columbus, Citizens Police Academy, Political Central Committees, Weed and Seed Steering, Non Profit Boards, and Amnesty International Radio Host. I served my country in the U.S. Army as Squad Leader, Law Enforcement SWAT instructor and Honorable discharge.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

As an engineer I have the skills to provide sound input on improving our state's Infrastructure such as roads & bridges & energy production. I have the experience in promoting criminal justice reforms & human rights. I have testified several times and influenced current legislation. We need to focus on people we are afraid of and not people we do not like. I would support Ohio economy & jobs via improving business climate by simplifying workers compensation system to be more competitive and less of an administrative burden. Ohio system is cumbersome and virtually alone in it's current form.

3. What is the biggest issue facing the district you hope to represent? What will do you do in office to address it?

One of the biggest issue facing our district is having the people with the right skill set to support our region's potential for economic growth. We need to truly support our educational system so our industries have the workers to grow and prosper. We spend far too much on incarceration rather than on education.
