Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Jesus Christ is both Lord and King. He is the eternal Son of God. Salvation from sin is through Christ and Christ alone, by grace through faith alone. Every good and perfect gift is from God -including His Word, which is eternally true and applicable for every area of life -especially in matters of civil government. God has rescued me from sin and death and I am eternally grateful. My sincere desire is to live a life that reflects God's glory so that he might be all the more exalted. And that men might come to know Him and and be saved through the proclamation of His word. My values come from the Bible, which is the source for all wisdom and knowledge pertaining to daily living, family discipleship, civil rule, law and justice.

Everything we do in America should be based on the foundational principle written in the constitution. "We are endowed by our Creator" and since we have a creator that has not left us with out rights, we should seek to live out our economic and social policies based on that premise. We should strive to reflect the image of our creator by obeying His commandments -namely by loving our neighbor as our self. In matters of foreign policy and military defense. We should protect our nation from anyone who threaten that premise or seeks to implement a different one. -both foreign and domestic.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have owned businesses and managed them. I understand how to balance budgets. and I know how to say no to individuals who want it now and want to pay for it later. My military career has afforded me the opportunity to work in high stress situations and with very diverse individuals.
