I have lived in the up since 2011 when I began attending Northern Michigan University. During my time there I studied biology, physics, computer science, mathematics and history. I tried my hand in the blue collar trades but my hands were not steady enough to become a welder professionally.

I have spent my working life mostly in community pharmacy with a short stint as a programmer after the covid shutdown. When that position was eliminated by AI companies promising to replace the workforce I returned to community pharmacy.

I currently reside in ishpeming, Michigan. Where my girlfriend and I purchased a house a few years ago through the Michigan first time home buyer assistance program.

I have never intended to go into government. If I could make enough to pay all my bills and save enough to retire by working in community pharmacy I would. If doing essential medical work paid a living wage I would be spending the time that I work on this website and on the campaign trail with my woodworking equipment instead. but the current political climate has proved that neither party cares about the needs of the people they claim to serve. It is on us to take back the government and once again make it a body of by and for the people.
