Candidate for
United States Representative; District 32

Education:

Prior to the discovery that going to college was getting in the way of his education, he attended Mt. San Antonio and Rio Hondo junior colleges. Whereas curricula at both institutions were authored by establishmentarians of the socialist stripe, and teaching music was never his intention, his career choices of International Relations and Music became impossible to attain. He made a constructive nuisance of himself by first challenging, and subsequently embarrassing faculty and administration alike, and was shown the exit.

Career:

Forced to pursue an independent career path, he benefited enormously from that choice, pursuing music and political science alternately as opportunities availed themselves.

In 1982 and `83, and after touring with musical ensembles in various roles, Faegre managed two congressional campaigns in Santa Cruz and San Francisco. The former resulting in the now famous "Shut Up!" exchange from then President Reagan to Santa Cruz Republican Gary Richard Arnold and seen by as many as 900 million people around the globe.

In 1984, Faegre began to devote more attention to his musical compositions and spending more time recording his work. After moving to Europe in June, 1986, Faegre married Theresa Bridget Sweeney in Dublin, Ireland, returning to the U.S. in January 1987.

At the end of the decade, anxious to again offer knowledge for the benefit of others, he pursued a career in financial service with what is known now as the CitiGroup.

He is currently employed by Crowell Weedon and Company and offers political insight, campaign information and his musical compositions from http://www.ontopofacloud.com., The Intelligent Internet Portal.

Theresa is employed by Southern California Edison. They have a ten year-old daughter, Deirdre Leah.
