I'm 62, a Democrat, and a 10-year U.S. Army Veteran. I serve my country, not a president. I follow laws, not lawmakers. I don't tolerate discrimination against anyone's race, sexual orientation, religion or culture. I stand with all Georgians as equals. I’m a husband, father and grandfather. I drive a truck, own guns, go to church, and am a dog dad. I work full-time. I drive a 10-year-old truck because its paid off and runs well. I watch baseball. I almost always wear jeans and T-shirts. I shop at Walmart. I’m about the furthest thing from an elitist there is.

I work full-time, I'm no millionaire, and I don't own a business to write laws I can profit from. I earned my Bachelor's degree from Ottawa University in Arizona and my Master's from the University of the Incarnate Word in Texas, where I studied J

Journalism and Communications. But the real learning came from 45 years on the ground as an investigative journalist and columnist, exposing corruption and bad government at all levels - from zoning boards to members of Congress.
