I am a small business owner with 32 employees, married 21 years with 4 beautiful daughters.  I grew up on a small acreage outside of Des Moines, went to UNI and Simpson College.  Majored in Environmental Studies with an emphasis in Chemistry.  Lived in AK, SD and IA.  I am a libertarian, fiscally conservative, socially ambivalent, as long as I don't have to pay for your actions.  I love arguing politics, especially with liberals.

I learned from my parents that hard work will take you anywhere you want to go.  That your opportunities are only limited by your desire.
