I am 38 and a father of three (2 girls 8, 6 and 1 boy 3 weeks). I have always made my own decisions so my political views are based on my own experiences. I do not affiliate myself with any political party nor do I consider myself to be a conservative or a liberal. I have been asked to run for office as a Libertarian but I felt my ideas did not follow their party line close enough.
My experiences in life include 11 years of service in the US Army, one year as a police officer, owned a business for 4 years and 4 years as a school teacher. I had a few other jobs in my life but the ones I mentioned had the biggest impact on my life.
During my time in the Army I was fortunate enough to visit and live in several countries. Those experiences have greatly influenced my current political views. I am now pretty set in my political views. I do have a few that I am currently on the fence on. Those may be addressed in later discussions.
I hope to contribute some of my limited wisdom as well as receive some for the members here. I look forward to discussions that will come.

Thanks,
Davey
