Candidate's Statement
I am 61 years old, retired from a career in aviation, and live with my wife Tamara in the wonderful community of Rotonda West. I have a daughter who lives in New York, and a son and grandson who live in Orlando, FL.
In addition to my aviation background I also have 15 years of active service with a fire department in Connecticut, and am a graduate of the Connecticut Fire Training Academy. I have served as a firefighter and as a lieutenanct with an engine company, and am a past President and current lLfe Member of that organization.
This is the first time ever running for elective office, and I feel there\'s a need for the voters to have an alternative choice to the union sponsored candidates of the past. I feel that it\'s time for someone to stand up for the taxpayer\'s and protect their interests above all others.
