"Now this is the Law of the Jungle--as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back;
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack." - Rudyard Kipling, 1894

Reason for Seeking Public Office:
"I've been taught the importance of service ever since I was born -- it's what inspired me to enter the Navy. My wife and I have lived in Jacksonville for years, and are always looking to give back to our community. As a business founder and Naval Officer, I know I have the drive and dedication to lead our State Legislature in the right direction, and help improve the city of Jacksonville and Nassau County."
