About Me
Who I Am
I am a citizen of this nation, just like the other 340 million people who call the United States home.
I am a husband, a father to four children, a son, a brother, a friend, and a neighbor.
I am a veteran of the United States Air Force, recently retiring after 20 years of service.
Most importantly, I am a human being. I have feelings, emotions, reactions, opinions, and thoughts—just like every one of you.
What I’ve Witnessed
Over my lifetime, I have lived through:
The fall of the Berlin Wall
The First Gulf War
The LA Riots
The fall of the U.S.S.R. and the crisis in Europe that followed
The Oklahoma City bombing
The Atlanta Summer Olympics bombing
Columbine
9/11
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq
The normalization of school shootings
The rise of media-driven race baiting
The end of bipartisan political work
Police brutality
The explosion of misinformation on the internet
The collapse of real education in schools
And most importantly, the murder of a man for exercising his First Amendment right in September 2025
On Media, Power, and Division
The tragedies and travesties we see every day are portrayed through the media’s same First Amendment right to free speech. But instead of using that right responsibly, too often it is used to spread fear, stoke hate, and create division.
Media outlets, streaming platforms, and social media companies wield their influence to turn citizens against one another rather than toward beneficial change.
This is not accidental. The major media companies, social platforms, telecommunications giants, and conglomerates that control the flow of information are the same entities funneling money into:
Super PACs that fund political campaigns
Defense contracts
Healthcare networks
Energy infrastructure
Food systems
Utilities and other essentials of daily life
Again, this is not accidental—it is purposeful design. It is also not illegal. Some corporations fund both sides of public arguments simply to keep the arguments alive.
Division equals distraction. Distraction creates demand for coping mechanisms. And those coping mechanisms? They sell every form imaginable.
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is the very heart and soul of modern capitalism.
What I’ve Been Through
Beyond public events, I have faced my own battles with the legal system—specifically family law.
My ex-wife filed a foreign judgment (a decision from another state’s court) in the state where she lived with our two children. At that time, I had taken a military assignment near a hospital that could treat my stepdaughter’s cancer.
The original judgment named me the custodial parent. I could have taken my two children with me, but it was the middle of the school year and I believed they needed the stability of finishing where they were. Later, their mother asked that the children be allowed to decide where they wanted to live. Despite my concerns, I agreed because I thought their happiness mattered most.
For years after our divorce, my ex-wife and I maintained a cooperative relationship. She stayed at my home on weekends when she was in town, we celebrated holidays and birthdays together, and for a time we became friends.
I left that state at the end of 2021. My stepdaughter entered remission for sixteen months, but her cancer returned in the summer of 2023 and she required a bone marrow transplant—the primary reason I sought reassignment.
In November 2023, she took a severe turn for the worse. Her lungs hemorrhaged, her liver and kidneys began to fail, and she spent five and a half weeks in the pediatric intensive care unit.
On December 28, 2023—just one day after she was released—I received a foreign judgment affidavit in the mail. The filing date was December 15, 2023. I was confused, reached out to my ex-wife, and was met with silence. Her attorney told me she was “just registering the divorce judgment.” Oddly, she had never done this during the three and a half years I lived there under military orders.
That process ended in March 2024. I suspected more was coming—and I was right.
In April 2024, she filed a motion to amend the judgment, seeking primary residential responsibility for the kids and a child support order. There had been no prior child support order, because I had always provided what the kids needed.
Securing an attorney proved difficult. She had already spoken with most local attorneys, creating conflicts of interest. I finally retained counsel in May 2024. I raised concerns about her employment as a sheriff’s deputy in the courtroom, but my attorney dismissed them.
End of June 2024: The first judge recused himself.
July 2024: My son told me he wanted to live with me. I honored his wishes under the alternating school year clause. She accused me of harassment.
July 30, 2024: She filed a motion for interim relief.
August 7, 2024: The second judge recused.
August 8, 2024: The entire district requested reassignment due to her employment in the courthouse.
The case went to an out-of-district judge. Thirteen business days later—despite clear inaccuracies in her affidavit, despite her own testimony that I was a good father, that there was no emergency, and no time-sensitive issue—the judge ruled in her favor. I had to return the children.
My attorney told me I had no chance at the full hearing without my son’s testimony. My son was not comfortable, and I respected that. I pushed for mediation, but it amounted to surrender. The amended judgment was signed in March 2025.
New problems arose with health insurance. I carried TRICARE, but she refused to use it. When I attempted to resolve it, I learned her attorney no longer represented her—leaving us both without counsel.
While reviewing the amended judgment, I noticed a clause: “Whereas during the pendency of the case, neither party was on active military service to the United States.”
That was false. I was active duty the entire time.
Research led me to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), which provides legal protections for service members. Neither the court, my attorney, nor opposing counsel mentioned it once.
I dug further and uncovered additional problems:
UCCJEA violations
14th Amendment due process violations
State statute violations
Attorney ethical breaches and possible fraud/perjury
I am still fighting to correct these failures.
Why I Share This
I don’t share my story for pity. I share it for relevance.
I could be angry only at my ex-wife—and to some degree that might be valid. But the larger issue is the systemic failures of courts, attorneys, and institutions.
Information is a peaceful weapon. Citizens must wield it to hold systems accountable.
Why I Started This Initiative
The republic only works when its citizens are informed, engaged, and willing to act with facts rather than emotion.
The Informed Constitutional Republic Initiative exists to give people knowledge, practical tools, and civic education—so they can navigate complex systems and demand accountability from those who hold power.
Information is a peaceful weapon — and it belongs to the people.
What I Hope to Accomplish
- Give citizens plain-English tools to understand their rights.
- Expose how power is really used in Washington and in the states.
- Encourage people to redirect frustration toward decision-makers, not each other.
