Join Us Today!

I am a U.S. Army Veteran with 30 years of service, multiple deployments and combat tours with experience leading diverse executive level teams in the pursuit of solving complex issues. I have witnessed some of the worst places on the planet and I am committed to making Minnesota one of the best.

"Rangers lead the Way!"

Upon retiring from the military, I became involved in our Veteran Community and am serving on the Executive Board of the WW2 Round Table, where serving veterans has been extremely rewarding.  I established the Student Outreach in order to connect our greatest generation to inspire a new generation of Americans.  I am married to Tina Watson, a mental health therapist, and we are celebrating 30 plus years of marriage. We have two daughters in Stillwater Public Schools, a dog and a cat. For the past 20 plus years we have called Lake Elmo and the surrounding area home.

I am a leader who works with all folks of good will to achieve the best possible outcomes for our children, economy, environment, citizens and future. I am tireless in the pursuit of friendship and excellence. 

 "Let's Roll!"

I envision a Minnesota that is a great place to live, raise a family, build a business, retire and have access to home ownership.  A state where the government is effective and works for us, its citizens! 

• Minnesota Air, Water & Land is clean. 
• Minnesota is crime free & safe. 
• Minnesota governance enables, promotes and champions its citizens' innovation & commerce. 
• Minnesota schools teach academic excellence in the essential skills, good citizenship, American pride & unity and where graduates find fulfilling careers.
• Minnesota stewards its natural resources to provide reliable & affordable energy to its citizens and industry with the best environmental technology.

We are each free to enjoy our rights and live our lives to the fullest for the greater good!     

We must do better and we can!   "Join Me!"

The Way to achieve this is  MISSION: MINNESOTA! 

"On the Way!"
