After working my way through college, medical school, and residency as a single father of 3, I moved to Southwest Florida with my children, my debt, and my high aspirations. 25 years ago, I opened a medical practice which would later grow to be one of the largest medical conglomerates in the area. I sold that practice in 2013, and I have been blessed beyond words ever since. I now live in Naples with my 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and my beautiful wife Olga. I've seen firsthand how big government has encroached on every aspect of our lives, and I've decided to do something about it. I'm running for Congress to ensure that my children and grandchildren have the same opportunities to work hard and pursue the American Dream that I did.
- Drain the Swamp
- Support the President
- Defend the Constitution
Enacting healthcare reform and ending reckless spending and government waste.
My two primary responsibilities will be to represent the people of my district and to uphold and defend the US Constitution.
I hope to leave behind a legacy of having the courage to do what is right and necessary - even when it is hard.
Without a doubt, the national debt is our greatest challenge as a nation.
I believe that term limits are a must. I have already signed the US Term Limits Pledge, and I plan to co-sponsor legislation to put term limits in place.
