Reason for Seeking Public Office:
Governor Larry Hogan set the precedent for my campaign. Timing is everything, and 2016 is going to be a pivotal year. All across the country people are reconsidering what makes for a good leader. The people of Maryland are no different. We are looking for practical answers from people with real world experiences. I have been a successful doctor, veteran, businessman, and lawyer. I am not a career politician, nor do I want to be. But I know, now more than ever, time is crucial and the risk to our nation is significant.
