I know firsthand what it’s like to live oppressed and have nothing. I know what it is to have the government own everything and realize the challenge of living on food rations.

My mother always told me stories of how my grandfather would stand in line to ensure we had bread. I remember hot water being on from 4 pm to 6 pm to make it possible to give my brother and me baths.

I grew up with no police and was forced out of a country where authority was non-existent.

It has been my mission in life to help educate everyone around me.

I want to give knowledge to the fortunate, the not-so-fortunate, and the marginalized.

My goal is to provide all the available information so you can decide what’s best for you and your unique circumstances.

I have been in healthcare work for 17 years. Healthcare is one of my passions as well, and the freedom to make your own healthcare decisions is your fundamental right as an individual.

No one should be making healthcare decisions for you. However, you need to be informed on every issue concerning the treatment you receive. I am a healthcare professional, not a doctor, and I have sworn to educate, protect, and do no harm.

I am fortunate that my business can operate from home, and I know many people do not have that luxury.

I have experienced the daily grind and the hard work it takes to run a successful business and how quickly that all can be lost.

I’ve completed the necessary safety training, have my conceal-and-carry permit, and possess a firearm.

I am knowledgeable about the existing registration paperwork (which, in my opinion, doesn’t need to be changed) and what a potential registry would include.

We need someone defending our collective rights.
