ABOUT

I am a lifetime resident of the state of Ohio. I am a graduate of Bishop Watterson High School. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Agricultural Economics. After graduating, I started the first bicycle messenger service in downtown Columbus. After selling that business I got involved in a new business supporting cycling events around the country. I have been involved in all levels of the sport from local events in Columbus to International events, including the Pan Am Games and the World Championships. I also coached a cycling team to two national championships.

In the off season, I tutor at-risk high school students, helping them to stay in school and teaching them the importance of graduating.

I am married and have three college aged boys, three dogs and a cat.

PHILOSOPHY ON ELECTION FINANCE

When the members of congress are spending up to 70% of their time fundraising they are not doing the job they were elected to perform. What some people dont know is that the members of congress actually have to leave their office and go to a different location to make fundraising phone calls. It would be like you secretly leaving your job at 10:00 and going to another job and expect to be paid for both jobs. I will not spend my time fundraising!
I feel that a candidate should be supported by that candidates constituents and those individuals who beleive in the values of that candidates. I hope that I can inspire the voters to support me and in return I will represent them, and not big business, in Washington.
