I was born in Canada. My parents moved to the states when I was a child. My father was an American servicemen. I went to high school in Ohio. I received a certification as a paramedic and served five years with the city of Cleveland EMS.

I moved to Alaska in 1981. As an Independent business man I opened a chain a sandwich shops beginning in 1983 called The pickle Barrel Deli. After years, I sold them and bought Illusions food company which is a Wholesale bakery. Additionally, I did some commercial fishing in Prince William Sound. Currently my part-time job is a Marine surveyor appraiser and surveying boats for people. ​

I could see the way our politics are going here in Alaska and it bothered me so I felt I should get involved so I filed to run for the House seat in my district. Juneau needs some common sense legislators who have a background in meeting a payroll and balancing a checkbook.

  • If leaders of our state cannot lead without Binding their fellow legislators to their vote, you must wonder if they are true leaders.
