I began my political career in 1994 as a conservative grassroots Republican activist for the Maryland Republican Party. I have also served as an elected Member of the Montgomery County Maryland Republican Central Committee (1998-2002, 2006-2010 and 2014-2018). I've lived in Maryland since the early 1970s and am a graduate of the University of Maryland and Montgomery College. I have a wonderful wife, to whom I have been married for 45 years. We have been blessed with three children and four grandchildren.
