A FISCAL CONSERVATIVE REAGAN REPUBLICAN

After working for two major international corporations Mike was asked to work in the Defense Department. His career in the Department of Defense spanned 33 years and included various positions within the DoD’s Fourth Estate Agencies which made him eligible to serve in Senior Executive Service positions.

 

 Notably, Mike was drafted to work on President Reagan’s efforts to cut Government waste under David Stockman. Thanks to the different positions and agencies Mike worked for, he was tasked with leading teams of professionals who assessed, awarded, oversaw, successfully delivered and sometimes shut down various programs and businesses all over the US and the world.

 

Mike attended the Defense Acquisition University and became an Advanced Program Manager and a member of the esteemed Acquisition Corps as a Senior DOD Leader. He was responsible for overseeing multi-billion-dollar programs and testified in hearings that resulted in wasteful programs being shut down. Mike also was instrumental in rewriting regulations to cut out waste in the Federal Government. He earned certifications from the Harvard Law School Program on Negotiations, where students from governments around the world and the US attended to work on Treaties, and other National and International programs.

 

Mike earned meritorious achievement awards, agency employee of the year, and numerous other awards for service and performance before honorably retiring. After retiring, Mike ran for Florida Senate in 2022 as an America First candidate - fiscal conservative Republican. He also earned his realtors license and is presently a member of the New Smyrna Beach Realtor’s Association and National Association of Realtors. Mike belongs to the Association of Vietnam Vets of America and is a donor and volunteer for Big Dog Ranch Rescue. He is also a strong activist in making government work for the people, and a grassroots organizer helping to get more people involved in getting the right laws and individuals into office. Mike has been to Washington D.C and Tallahassee many times to get bills introduced, revised, and pushed through to become law over the past thirty years.

 

Mike is a widower, father, and grandfather. He has two children and his son is currently serving overseas for the Special Operations Command, after graduating from the University of Central Florida like his mom did. Mike is also a loving grandfather to two grandsons who grew up right here in beautiful District 07.

 

Family, service, God, and country. Mike’s mission is to preserve our constitutional rights, fight for our freedoms, and push back against wasteful and radical agendas that threaten our safety, livelihood, and way of life.
