I am a veteran, retired with 22 years of service in the USAF as a Signals Intelligence Analyst and a recently retire from 13 and a half years as an employee of Clark County Nevada where I was a child support case manager and trainer. During my employment with Clark County I was a union steward and trustee with SEIU Local 1107. I now have taken a full time position with SEIU Local 1107 as a representative and trainer of stewards.
I am active in the anti war movment in Las Vegas and have been since the beginning of the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. My step son is an active duty soldier who has served in Afghanistan and is being deployed to Iraq in Dec 2009. I have helped organize anti war demostrations in Las Vegas and been the media spokesperson for one of the anti war groups i have belonged to here. I am an active member of Veterans for Peace, Nevada Workers Against the War, and other anti war pro labor groups in Las Vegas.
I am a third generation union member orginally coming from the thriving steel town of Steubenville, Ohio, which has declined with the downfall of heavy industry in America. I strongly support organized labor and believe unions are necessary for the working class to have a chance against the employing class.
I am looking forward to my new career as a union staff member where I can fight for the rights of working families full time.
