About Me:

Born and raised in Gainesville, Florida, I am an activist, a U.S. Army veteran, and an I.T. administrator by trade. For over 32 years, I've been happily married to my lovely wife, and together we are proud of our wonderful 32-year-old son. Our family is completed by a black toy poodle named Jillian Fiona, aka Jillybean. My passion lies in activism and helping others that most certainly did not have the privileges I was fortunate to have. I study politics and investing for knowledge and necessity’s sake. After a decade of evolving political thought, I find myself disillusioned with the world. I use my disillusionment to fuel my work with North Central Florida Indivisible and other political groups. The reality of a fascist government in the United States has led to a focus on civil resistance and mutual aid to help others. Writing is a large part of how I oppose fascism, but personal action helping others is where lives are really changed. I love engaging in discussions about politics, as I believe it profoundly impacts our lives and the lives of others.
