About
Integrity
Found in Massachusetts, moose at times symbolize integrity. I uphold values guiding my actions: faith, security, knowledge, social, gratitude. I adopt the United Nations framework of human security. It includes economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, political. So Much More than keywords, these partly reflect my Protestant upbringing. While my worldview and actions are expansive, my focus is centered. Trust I will serve you with integrity.

Open and Honest
It may sound good, like me sharing I'm a Christian Eagle Scout. But I want to prove it. I say the following because I'm open and honest. When I was 19, college freshman, I wrecked my car in a parking lot after buying art supplies. I confessed to alcohol use and served two years probation for the Class B Misdemeanor in Texas. I did what justice required and restored my standing in the community. I believe in crime and punishment and the restoration of goodness. Truth is So Much More rewarding than darkness and denial. Truth shall set you free. Amen to that.

Personal
While I hope you vote for me based on my ability to help Brookline, I realize you may be curious about me besides work. I was born and raised in Memphis, TN, went to all male private school until completing high school at St. Andrew's School in Delaware. I lived a year in Washington, DC, before moving to Austin, TX. I lived there 15 years. Previous relations with women have not led to marriage. Perhaps one day. I visit my parents in the Emerald Coast of the Panhandle, Florida, a few times each year and visit my sister's family in Denver, CO. I regularly view NBC News and PBS NewsHour, play guitar, and still watch Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes. I am spiritual, and I have some friends who are and some who are not.
