About Me and Why I am Doing What I am Doing

---

I am a father to four amazing children and a husband for the last 18 years to a very dedicated mother and friend. I am a lifelong devoted Catholic. Politically speaking, I am a strict Constitutionalist with with many years as a democrat growing up in New York City, and I am appalled what the democratic party has become. I am a very private person - except when I see the abuses of bureaucrats working for the government - imposing their ideology, and violating the principles of our Constitutional Republic.    

I hold a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (BEEE) from City College of New York, specializing in photonics – a field that encompasses electromagnetics. Additionally, I have a Master's degree in systems engineering (MSESE) from Johns Hopkins University, focusing on System of Systems (SoS), which includes socio-technical and socio-economic phenomena.

Professionally, I am an advisory photonic systems engineer with 30+ years of experience working with various United States Government Agencies, including the Department of Defense, particularly on matters of national security and military weapons systems. My peers and I are committed to ensuring our military remains the best in the world, so that our brothers and sisters in arms can return home safely to their families.

I ran for Anne Arundel County Executive because I was, and I still am, deeply concerned about the overreach of authority and abuse of power by our local government agencies, particularly the Office of Planning and Zoning (OPZ) and the Office of Inspections and Permits (OIP).

I also worry about overspending, over-taxation, and the waste of taxpayer money that you and I have worked so hard to earn. Most importantly, I am concerned about violations of our constitutional Rights in the name of profit, both at the county and state levels. I believe we can do better.

I am not against conservation - it is an important factor to protect nature - except when it is used as a pretext to minimize your property Rights while collecting taxes on it. The County and State of Maryland cannot have it both ways.
