Summary
I'm just a guy trying to do the right thing for my family. I work hard. I love reading biographies and history. I think if we appreciate the country given to us by our founding fathers, we should read the books that they read. I'm passionate about freedom. I believe in the principles our country was founded on. I am just trying to show my daughters that we can take responsibility for the state we live in. Maybe they will get to enjoy it too.
