After the Navy I worked as a defense contractor. Working on projects from communication system design to construction. I opened my own company to support the privatization of federal government agencies. After 9/11 I moved onto business consulting and business turnaround. Helping companies grow and expand. I then built an alternative energy business. Manufacturing alternative fuels and implementing alternative energy solutions.
After thinking about retirement, I felt I needed to do my best to continue to serve. I was dissatisfied with how our government is working for the people. As well as the continues regulations placed on us and our businesses.
It's time to streamline our systems. Make the people the most important priority and bring common sense and accountability back.- We need to create value back to life and family. We need to reduce abortion as a need by providing options and support to families and women and rebuild our adoption system.
- We need to attract those who chose to serve the publics needs. Such as teachers, police officers, firefighter, nurses, doctors and the military. I am proposing the elimination on state income tax on those professions that make less then $75,000 a year.
- We have the most diverse skill population on the east coast. Virginia is the center and hub of the east coast. We have a vast infrastructure of ports , airports, highways and railroads. We have natural resources. Some of the best colleges and universities in the world. We need to businesses in all fields, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, defense, technology, energy and so on. Into Virginia and build not just jobs but careers that people and build families and establish roots in the Commonwealth.
However, the unwritten duties are to utilize to powers of the offices in influence policy and help both parties to work together. While staying connected to the people and their needs.
