I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I still and always will consider myself a Brooklynite at heart. I moved to the Bronx in the summer of 2003, where soon after I started high school at Bronx Leadership Academy. Throughout my high school career, I served in several high ranking positions such President of the Christian Club and then President of the Junior Class. I graduated high school with honors and was nominated by the history department to receive small award scholarship.

This upcoming fall, I shall be attending the Whitehead School of International Relations and Diplomacy at Seton Hall University, in South Orange NJ. I am a declared Diplomacy major and I am looking forward to the academic road ahead of me and to the challenges that come with it. This summer, I was appointed Bronx County Coordinator for the Ron Paul for President Coalition.

Throughout my tender youth unto adolescence I considered myself a Conservative Republican. I still remember the 1996 Presidential Elections and my hopes that Bob Dole would win; I felt the same in 2000 and 2004 in regards to George W. Bush. It was not until recently that I could no longer support the policies of the Neo-Conservative Bush administration. Neo-Conservatism originated from the old Liberal-wing of the Democratic Party. Neo-Conservatives such as George W. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and so forth have taken the great Republican Party and it proud heritage and have tarnished it.

Now as I look for true conservatism I feel that the Libertarian Party is the last best hope for America. The Libertarians actually stand for what the Neo-Cons claim to represent but fail to do so (i.e. limited government, low taxes, isolationism, strong defensive military (not an offense imperialist one), U.S. sovereignty, freedom, and liberty.

This summer marks my official start into the realm of political activism and I am more than excited. I think I will always be a Constitutionalist and now feel inclined to consider myself a right-wing libertarian. My political beliefs are inspired by my heroes: Ronald Reagan and the Founding Fathers.

I don't bring much experience, due in part to my age, but it is my earnest hope that this will be the start of a great and new beginning for me as I enter the world of politics. I hope to bring my insights, ideas, and historical perspectives to the debate on issues presented to us as a whole.

I look forward to working with LFC - the true advocate of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
