Expand all | Collapse all

I am a husband to Christine; Father to Natalie, Jessica and Alaina; Grandfather to Isaac and Nora; a retired Naval Officer; Disabled Veteran; and a Dover resident since 2003. The Navy brought us to Dover...we liked it so much we stayed.

As a candidate, I bring over 35 years of professional experience to the table. Having worked from the bedside to the C-Suite, in the US Senate and within senior levels of the U.S. Government, I understand how to work with people of any background, experience or point-of-view to reach solutions.

I am on a mission to "Bring Balance Back to the House." If elected, I hope to focus on economic stability and job growth, improving the viability of our healthcare organizations in NH, increasing the accessibility to mental health care, and focus on both overcoming the drug abuse crisis and preventing Veteran suicide.
  • Bring Balance Back to the House
  • Create opportunities for all citizens to achieve success through personal accountability and responsibility, not government intervention
  • Stabilize our economy to attract big and small businesses and, thus, create jobs
Healthcare access and quality

Upholding the tenets of the US and NH Constitutions
Economic growth and job creation
Curbing the drug abuse crisis
Maintaining a sensible tax structure, including all efforts to keep NH tax-free

Veteran's issues and preventing Veteran suicide

Respect, critical thinking, strategic leadership, conviction and integrity
The relationship must be collegial and close working, regardless of party affiliation or alignment. It must be based on the principles of trust and respect in order to ensure voices are heard, perspectives are considered, and resulting legislation reflects the best product for the state and our citizens.
There are two whom I admire: Ronald Reagan and Senator Joe Lieberman.
In going door-to-door for the past few months, several interactions have made an important impact. The first was a woman who had lost her job due to Covid. She explained her perspective of how frustrating it has been to first lose her position, have to deal with the unemployment process, and the fear of not finding another job. We exchanged ideas about the job search and I was able to give her several sites to search for a new position.

Many people with whom I've talked are very fearful of the rapid progress toward socialist-like policies. I understand this very real fear, as I've seen first-hand the effects of socialism having lived overseas. I agree that socialism is not the future of America and will not work in our constitutional republic.
