Rent is rising.
Groceries cost more.
Healthcare is harder to access.
I believe our path forward needs these things:
…and more.
Georgia families shouldn’t have to struggle
just to stay afloat.

Georgia’s GDP ranks 8th in the nation.
That implies a strong economy with a higher standard of living here.
But 45% of our residents struggle for basic household needs like paying bills, doctor’s visits for each family member or even just household maintenance. When you’re already working 40 hours each week or more and you still can't make ends meet, something is wrong.

Many rural communities face gaps in services — programs for special‑needs children, limited healthcare access, and more. Broadband expands opportunity, yet some counties still rely on outdated emergency services equipment. Local leadership must prioritize community residents over aggressive industry growth. But we can develop local economies while protecting families and resources.

Georgia should prioritize responsible stewardship of our land, water, and farmland. By working with neighboring states, farmers, and industry on clear regional standards for water quality and resource use, we can protect families while avoiding a patchwork of conflicting regulations. Smart, consistent guidelines support long-term growth and preserve the resources future generations depend on.

As a retired Naval Officer and Military Advisor at the U.S. State Department, I have learned that judgement, accountability, and mission must come before politics.
If your household earns less than $60k per year, save for a rainy day. Buy food & gas. Pay rent & bills. Please don't feel any pressure to donate.
My family came to Augusta in 1968 when my dad got hired at the Tracy-Luckey Pecan Company in Harlem. I finished Aquinas High School in 1987, then got my BA from UNC Charlotte in English with a Religious Studies minor in 1992. After working my way through grad school at Embry-Riddle, I got into Navy Officer Candidate School in 1995.
As a Naval Flight Officer in the EA-6B Prowler, I flew off of aircraft carriers and am an Iraq Vet. From 2009-2012, I flew Open Skies Treaty (OST) missions over Russia and was a panelist in U.S.-Russia Bilateral Negotiations in 2011. Later, I served as a Military Advisor to the U.S. State Department working arms control issues at the Inter-Agency level in Washington, D.C. and supported the U.S. Diplomatic Mission to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
My wife, Natasha, was from Belgrade, Serbia, and had lived through the conflict there in the '90s. In our time together, she'd fought breast cancer twice, and after an 18-month battle, I lost her on August 11, 2014. She was 37 and almost done with her PhD.
I couldn't have had a better partner: she always made me laugh and was very proud to be a "navy wife."
Needing a change, in 2015, I went to UCLA to study acting and screenwriting. In 2018, I moved to Evans for family reasons but then got a role in Clint Eastwood's film, "The Mule" (2019). But my favorite acting roles were in the plays I did at Fort Gordon: I wish they'd bring the theater back!
Currently, I have an online retail apparel store, 90Threads (https://www.ninetythreads.com), still love movies, staying fit and walking my dog.
