Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe if you have any goodness in you, then you have the moral obligation to do what is right. My faith has guided me all my life. I grew up with only one parent at home and mainly raised myself when I was a child. Going to church, being an alter boy at St Michaels, and growing up receiving confirmation. Helped keep me balanced and poised as a father and now as I run for office.

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
I operate conservatively in my business and at home. We moved to a 750 sq ft home with a family of 5 so we can make sure we can live in a meek manor. If my business has a bad month we need to be able to survive. This has only made us grow stronger as a family. My wife and I stayed in the dinning room so our children could have bedrooms. We did this for almost two years until we could build a bedroom in the garage.
