I'm the author of 2-books and dozens of magazine articles. I write for 2-newspapers in western North Carolina. I produce a political news-email letter 3 times per week that features news that I've researched that is rarely reported in the mainstream media. This free email goes to a subscriber list, and ultimately is read by thousands nationwide. I am a NC certified concealed handgun carry instructor and teach the attendees to my classes about handguns & gun safety, personal in-home protection and the NC laws which upon completion allows them apply for their NC concealed carry permits. I am also a graduate of the Henderson County Sheriff's Citizens Academy and a certified A.L.I.C.E. instructor teaching active shooter response training. As an active member of my community I serve on 3-Boards of Directors and am a volunteer for several non-profits and in local, state and national politics. I've served on the election and reelection committees of NC State Senators, US Representative Mark Meadows, and in support of our County Sheriff. Having served my nation as a member of the Army Infantry during the Vietnam era (1967-69), I remain a staunch and proud American who strongly believes in the U.S. Constitution. I maintain that it is the role of government to serve we the people, and not the other way around as it has been evolving for decades. We must take back our nation and put the States back into power while eliminating the overreaching activities and power of the existing federal government.
