On 9/11 I was in first grade. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the magnitude of the events that had just happened. But in the years to follow, I began to understand the sacrifice that those the brave men and women made to save others on that fateful day. The bravery and selflessness of those first responders impacted me deeply and helped to influence my decision to join the army. Now that my time in uniform is over, I continue to serve my brothers and sisters who have answered the call of this great nation. I encourage you to take a moment to pause and remember those men and women, and to keep their loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. May they never be forgotten.

This week has been hard to watch as the Taliban regain control over 2/3rds of Afghanistan. Countless American lives, countless New Jerseyan lives have been lost in this conflict over the past 20 years. These people are my brothers and sisters. They were someone's father, mother, husband, wife or child. All lost for corporate greed and political gain while the rest of us are left without our loved ones. Enough is enough. The lack of leadership and integrity in our political offices is sickening. I promise, as a combat veteran who has fought for this country, that I will not stand idly by while our government uses its citizens for their personal gain. Send me to Trenton for you and I will make sure they know how New Jersey really feels.

I hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July. We couldn't have asked for better weather. As we get into bed tonight take a moment to thank our founding fathers for standing up for what was right when no one else would. Without them we would not be celebrating this great country and everything that we have accomplished as Americans. God bless the USA!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. With all that is going on in the world today it can be easy to miss the signs of a friend in need. Reach out to your friends and family you haven't talked to in a while. Make time to show someone you are there for them. You don't have to buy them things or post on Facebook about them. Just reach out and say hi. In a world full of darkness be the light for someone in need.

Today in New Jersey your rights are being restricted in effort to provide you with a false sense of Safety.

What was reveled today as "gun laws" would not have prevented any past Mass shootings or gun crimes in general. These "laws" only infringe on your rights as Americans.

These laws and many more like it are what I want to stop because only you can guarantee your safety.

GOV. MURPHY ANNOUNCES MAJOR NEW GUN CONTROL PLANS

April 15, 2021. Today, NJ Governor Phil Murphy announced a sweeping new package of gun control proposals in an orchestrated press event featuring anti-gun lawmakers, clergy, and civic leaders. Despite stating that most gun crime occurs in NJ's major urban centers, Murphy went on to announce proposals whose focus is to restrict legal gun owners statewide, rather than severely punishing gun criminals.

Gov. Murphy announced that his proposals include:

- Banning all 50 caliber fi****ms.

- Mandating electronic registration of all ammunition purchases.

- Mandating unreliable, useless "microstamping" technology for all
handguns (to stamp fi****ms serial numbers on spent
ammunition).

- Allowing gun manufacturers to be sued for misuse of their
products by criminals.

- Imposing gun registration on those moving into NJ with legal
fi****ms previously acquired.

- Banning gun ownership for all citizens under age 21.

- Mandating training in order to simply own fi****ms.

- Using $12 million in taxpayer funds for anti-gun grants to
universities and cities.

- Mandating that fi****ms dealers carry "smart" guns.

- Organizing anti-gun states to implement region-wide gun
control.

The particulars of these proposals have not yet been released, but NJ gun owners should gear up to fight one of the biggest gun ban battles of our lifetimes.

As a Libertarian one of my core beliefs is that you and only you have the ability to defend yourself from evil.

As an American we all have the the right to keep and bear arms. As a New Jersian it doesn't always feel that way. New Jersey's current laws only "allow" politicians and police officers the ability to carry a firearm outside their home. No one life is more valuable than the next and no government should have the ability to tell you your life is less important by denying your God given rights.

As your voice in Trenton I will fight for your right to defend yourself from evil. I will push for the repeal of these unconstitutional infringements.

As your potential voice in Trenton, I want to know what your concerns are. What are some topics that you would like me to take up for you, if given the opportunity?
