I am a Columbus, Ohio native currently living in Grove City, Ohio. I graduated in February 2005 from DeVry University with two Bachelor of Science degrees, one in Computer Engineering Technology and another in Electronic Engineering Technology. While still attending DeVry University I participated in several "open carry" walks to show support for House Bill 12 (Ohio's Concealed Carry Law) and obtained my license shortly after the bill passed into law.

After my graduation I moved to upstate New York with my now wife so she could obtain her MBA from Cornell University. While in New York I worked for a government contractor that designed and developed air-traffic and air-defense systems. I worked on the civil aviation side of the company where we created applications for customers like the FAA. In my spare time I worked on various open source projects and mentored a young developer for the Google Summer of Code.

Once my wife graduated we returned to Central Ohio where I was hired by another government contractor that makes military training simulation applications. With the economical troubles of late I was laid off from my job and am now studying for my GRE and intend to pursue a Masters of Computer Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University.

I have a strong history of grass-roots work in the local political community which include working on Mark Noble's campaign for Congress, volunteering for the Buckeye Firearms Association and helping lobby for the passage of pro-Second Amendment legislation.
