A Quick “About Me”

Who Am I?

  • A member of the Leavenworth/Lansing community for 36 years.

  • Retired production manager at the Hallmark Cards plant in Leavenworth. I’ve worked in the Hallmark and Select products plants for over 23 years in my Hallmark career.

  • Retired United States Navy Captain with 28 years of service to our nation, both active duty and reserve.

  • Veteran of Foreign Wars life-member with deployments to Iraq and Kuwait

  • Lisa and I have raised our family here, including our 3 kids who are graduates of Lansing High School.

  • Member of St. Francis de Sales parish and a past member of the Pastoral Council and Finance Committee.

  • Past member (14 years) of the Alliance Against Family Violence (AAFV) Board of Directors, including Finance Officer and Vice-Chairman of the Board.

  • Advocate and supporter of the United Way of Leavenworth County.

What I believe.

  • America is greatest when we truly are a melting pot of all the people and cultures who make up our country.

  • We learn from the past and move forward!

  • I believe strongly in the 2nd amendment!

  • I believe in economic growth through capitalism.

  • I believe energy independence

  • I believe in “life” and the “Value them both Amendment.”

  • I believe in and support the Constitution of the United States as it is written.  Our Founders created a democratic-republic that must be protected and defended.

  • I am a strong supporter of our military, veterans, and first-responders.

Why am I running for political office?

  • I am alarmed at the political activism that degrades parental rights, family values, and places government at the center.

  • I am alarmed at the “social engineering” that is happening in our school systems (CRT, Trans-gender/sexual orientation “grooming” of pre-K-elementary age children).

  • Alarmed at the continuing rise of personal property taxes.

  • Alarmed at the push for abortion rights and practices that terminate “life” and pregnancy up to the moment of live birth.

  • I’ve served this nation and our community for over 30 years. I want to continue serving the citizens of Lansing, Leavenworth, and the State of Kansas

Why should the voter care?

Assaults on our freedoms and liberties have risen through:

  • High/Higher taxes (Personal Property Tax, food and grocery taxes as examples)

  • Social engineering in our educational curriculum

  • Attempts to limit the right to bear arms (2nd Amendment)

  • Forced normalization and acceptance of multiple gender identification issues

  • Attacking basic capitalism (mining, manufacturing, agriculture) through increased regulation, taxes, etc.

  • Uncontrolled illegal immigration which results in human trafficking, sexual exploitation of women and children and the rise of drug trafficking in our country
