I believe in equality, but not equity. There is a huge difference. Accordingly, I promote diversity as a means, not an end and applaud DEI's demise in the military.

​

I believe in God, but I accept everyone without malice. Yes, that means I view LGTBQ they same as I view every other American and was proud to serve with diverse brothers and sisters in arms during war.

​

I believe in science, but only when it is guided by reason and evidence, not by religion or social/political ideologies.

​

I welcome opposing points of view in spirited discussion. Groupthink is never good for any cause.

​

I work hard for what I believe is right. 

​

I will never forget Afghanistan (military debacle) and COVID-19 (medical debacle)
