Personal statement -- I am a 4th generation proud life-long Huntington resident. I only took a 5-year break to live in Columbus to wrestle for The Ohio State University. After representing the Buckeyes, I decided to move back to Huntington because it is and always will be home to me. I met my late wife, Anna, in Huntington and we were married for 22 years. We are the proud parents of 2 wonderful daughters, Molly (17) and Macy (12). My family has deep roots in this city through the school system, local youth sports, and small business ownership with 3 generations running Archeròòò½ÊÓƵ™s Flowers downtown. I grew up watching and helping my parents run the WSAZ & WV State Wrestling Tournaments downtown for over 50 years.
I am motivated to run for a seat on the city council because I believe the city has lost its focus in recent years. Huntington residents are generous people by nature and our generosity is being taken advantage of by other communities who are shipping their drug addicts and homeless to Huntington. My #1 priority will be to reverse the trend of taking on other communityòòò½ÊÓƵ™s problems and focusing on our citizens needs first. Huntington cannot sustain positive growth by importing othersòòò½ÊÓƵ™ problems. I want Huntington to be the best place possible to raise a family. I am a man of faith, and I will fight for what I believe to be the right decisions for the future of Huntington. I am pro-law enforcement, pro-family, and pro-Huntington.
