Born in the U.S.A., I am a freedom-mongering high school senior living in northern New Jersey. Prior to my appointment as Executive Assistant, I began my career in liberty advocacy as the New Jersey Coordinator of the Paul for President Coalition, an independent organization which seeks to expand and provide support for grassroots Ron Paul activists. I still hold this position, and am working tirelessly to pollinate American politics with the seeds of liberty.

Politically, I started out on the far-right, wallowed amongst my fellow authoritarian war-hawks for quite some time, then abruptly shifted to a more moderate libertarian ideology. I still identify with the Republican Party, but disagree with several of their platforms and tend to assume a more pro-liberty posture. I believe that restoring the Republican Party's traditional ideology of limited government and fiscal responsibility, and backing more Barry Goldwater-esque conservatives, is a vital element of advancing a pro-liberty agenda, but I also acknowledge that only working within the confines of the Republican establishment will not be sufficient to accomplish this task, and that other avenues must be pursued if a pro-liberty ideology is to prevail. I am intricately involved in both prongs, as New Jersey Coordinator of a pro-liberty Republican, and as Executive Assistant of the Libertarian Freedom Council.

It is important to note that none of the work I am doing would be possible if not for Dr. Tom Stevens. I met Tom on a Ron Paul Meetup.com group and have never looked back. We have fostered not only a resilient working relationship, but also built a strong personal friendship. Tom is an irreplaceable motivator, educator, and friend, and I am thankful for all of the advice and guidance he has provided me.

I am extremely confident that if organized and managed properly, a pro-liberty agenda will become a driving force in American politics. Authoritarianism collides with human nature's desire to be free. Our job is to kindle that innate, and often dormant, desire that is ingrained in our moral and genetic fiber. If we can do that, liberty will prevail.
