Who am I?

Someone who has founded and run a small business. A husband and a father. And, while I have spent some time in the role of “community leader” – from state senator to local school board member – I am not a career politician.

I just got tired of watching all the problems go unsolved. I got tired of looking the other way. Years ago, I made a decision that I was not going to watch my children’s future be restricted by the constraints of our government and the lack of vision of its leaders. I decided that I was going to be an agent of change from the inside.

I know what government has to do, or not do, to grow the private economy because my company is growing everyday. I am still in the software business, still creating, selling, doing. No other candidate for office has my level of experience, my perspective or my drive.

Consider me the opposite of everyone else in office.

In fact, if you called me a politician, I’d consider it an insult.
