I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Business Administration from Hillsdale College in Michigan. I then attended Stetson College of Law in Florida but left after my second year because I felt there was no more hope for the system.

I moved back to Michigan at 27 and founded Presort Services, Inc. The company was dedicated to saving our clients money by providing them discounted postage rates. It satisfied one of my libertarian impulses.

Over the course of my life, few have met me without learning I’m a big-L Libertarian. It just kind of leeches out of me. I joined the Libertarian Party in 1974 and have – with the one regrettable exception of Ronald Reagan – voted for every Libertarian on the ballot every election.

I’ve served as Chair and Treasurer of the West Michigan affiliate of the Libertarian Party of Michigan and District Representative to the state board. I have run for office numerous times as a Libertarian as a member of the LP Radical Caucus.

As a member of the Libertarian Party of Michigan I’ve seen first hand the damage done when a single caucus takes control of a party for the purpose of installing policies and values that don’t represent the broad principles of most Libertarian Party members.

I joined the LP Alliance in order to support the movement to bring our party back to a place of balance, mutual respect, and a recognition that our party Is much stronger when Libertarians of all stripes and convictions are willing to work together for the goal of liberty in our lifetime.

Thank you to those who supported me for a seat on this Board of Directors of the LPA. I hope my decades long experience brings another perspective that’s seasoned but not stale. I work to always be principled, but never pedantic.
