I have always loved Florida. My grandfather owned a farm and bred horses in rural Ocala. I want the best for this state and its people. After growing up near Detroit, I made the move to the panhandle five years ago. I carry with me the gritty, blue collar Democrat attitude.
Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck now. We are working multiple jobs and struggling to make ends meet. I work in the funeral industry driving a hearse, to pay the bills, but my generation and younger will likely not be able to afford to start families, let alone purchase homes. It's as if we are dead already. This is unacceptable.
I am most proud of my indie art. Not expecting to become rich from it, I enjoy the creative process. I made and performed MUSIC with my brother for years and released my first novel earlier this year titled BLUE DREAM, a Christian sci-fi. We need creativity in Tallahassee.
- YES on 3. Legalize Cannabis.
- We must lower the property insurance and utility rates that are crippling the average Floridian.
- I am fighting against the greedy Republican elitists that have been in power for more than 30 years and done little help blue collar and minimum wage workers. It is time for change.
Lowering costs for families and homeowners, and legalizing recreational marijuana for adults.
Lincoln the unknown by Dale Carnegie
"...He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God..."
A legacy of compassion and love.
9/11. I was 11.
I was a dishwasher for a year.
Blue Dream, because I wrote it!
OTK from a children's Anime I wrote.
