I am one of the luckiest guys in the world! I have an awesome family, (especially my 2 terrific kids and new grand baby) incredible girl friend, terrific friends, an amusing puppy and I get to work with high school kids. Some say I'm a Ressaisance man; I just think I am a hybrid - part Republican/part hippie! I think this dicotomy is what has brought our group together.

We are a private investor, a graphics artist, an employee who drives a delivery truck, a part-time employed electrician, a single mom, a cafe owner, a school counselor, fathers, and a software specialist.

We are tired of the unfair practices and we are hopeful for a brighter solution. We love our countries and we want to see change. We are the 99%.
