Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I predicted that Donald Trump would be our next President on June 16, 2015 (Review news article on my website). My wife (of 25 years and 32 all together since High School), Dr. Jill Grant, is a Trauma Doctor and a Combat Veteran of the U.S. Army. I followed Donald Trump and his business ventures since 1989 (I was 19 years old)...now I am 48!! I served on the Grissom Air Force Base Honor Guard and Color Guard Team...providing Honor during funerals & community events to those who whom lived in Indiana. I met Donald Trump in 2016 (at the Greta VanSustren show - On the Record)...Trump learned that I was running for US Congress and wrote in my book..."The Art of the Deal"..." WIN!" (See my website for article and photos. As a Tax & Financial Consultant, I understand how hard people work for their Paycheck and I will work hard for our district. I am not a "Yes Man" or a puppet (like other candidates in this race)...I will vote in the best interest of the Hoosiers in our District.
