Work Experience:

I was raised on a farm and my work experience began there. Subsequently I worked in a gas station to buy a car at sixteen years of age and put gas in it. Following my navy enlistment I worked for one year in the now forgotten Thomas Dee Memorial Hospital cleaning the floors in surgery until I was hired as a professional firefighter for the Ogden City Fire Department. After eight years I resigned to travel and worked in various professions including: flat-rate auto mechanic, sheet rock installer, electricians helper, fencing installer, and even groom and pony boy, on the thoroughbred tracks around San Francisco. Before returning to Huntsville, Utah, I worked building maintenance at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for eleven years.

My work experience may seem to be haphazard and lack continuity, but there is one thing that I have learned I love more than life, profit, or position and that one thing is Liberty!!

Life Experience:

My life experience is too varied and colorful to enumerate here and it comes from my love for Liberty. I can fault no one but myself for any missteps and I have learned to view others from that perspective. Liberty allows freedom of action, but it demands, without quarter, that individuals assume responsibility for the actions they take. Wrong choices do not mean that a person is evil: a failure to stand accountable does. I have skeletons in my closet, although I have never been guilty of committing a felony and from that comes my belief in the basic rule for civil public debate: Attack an opponents position on issues from solid ground, but do not attack the opponent or his character. Basic human civility precludes the evils of gossip, slander, and libel!
