Congratulations to Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling and Ken Cuccinelli! We can be proud to have re-energized the conservative movement in America! As Ken Cuccinelli assumes his new role, a new State Senator must be selected.

It would be my honor to serve as your State Senator from the 37th district.

My wife, Penny, and I have been citizen activists in Northern Virginia for 20 years, and we have passionately supported conservative causes and candidates both professionally and as volunteers.  That's why so many folks – from Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) to Brandon Level, Whitlers Creek Home Owners Association – have encouraged me to run and have endorsed my candidacy.

As our nation fights to come back from the brink of economic ruin, Virginia desperately needs leaders with solid business experience. I’m looking forward to bringing my experience and passion to the table to help Virginia prosper in the days to come.  Today, I manage the Greenspring retirement community which employs over 1,000 employees and provides housing and health care to 2,000 seniors. I know how to balance a budget, identify efficiencies, effectively manage services and programs and create accountability that produces results.  These are exactly the skills we need in Richmond!

My life experience has prepared me in a unique way to be your Senator from the 37th district and it would be a privilege to serve you!

I look forward to getting to know each of you.
