I am a Senior Naval Officer (retired after 27 years) and served in the Middle East during Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. I also am a Hamilton County Special Deputy Sheriff, a LSFD HCSO Task Force One Rescue Diver.

My wife Debbie and I have three sons and two daughters as well as two granddaughters. I was born in Salem, Ohio on June 26, 1953. I graduated from high school in Kettering Ohio in 1971. I finished college, law school and active duty as a Naval JAGC Officer. I moved to Cincinnati in 1984.
