A LIFETIME OF SERVICE, AND A COMMITMENT TO LEADERSHIP, PROGRESS AND PRODUCTIVITY.

"I am a first generation immigrant to the United States and a proud American who believes that we must all do our part to help improve our communities and our country."

"As an ideological independent I am saddened to see the divisiveness and disrespect people are showing simply because of party affiliation. I want to promote respect, productivity and progress. After all, no matter what your politics or party affiliation, religion, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation we all have one thing in common; we want freedom, security and a united America.

I have spent most of my life serving our great nation in the military and in law enforcement and I remain committed to doing what I can to help solve problems by engaging our politicians, civic organizations, businesses and individuals."
