I am the grandson of four Greek Immigrants.  My two grandfathers came to the US at 13 years old in the late 1800's early 1900's they were placed on boats by their families to escape the famine in Europe at the time.  They both became very successful in their own right.   Like many immigrants, they were discriminated against during their life and rode on the back of the buses with other immigrants and African Americans.

I was raised in Magna, Utah. I attended and graduated from Utah State University and from Peace Officers Standards and Training at the University of Utah.   I served 6 Years in the United States Army on active and reserve duty. In 1979 I purchased a Chevrolet dealership in Jerome and built it into the successful business we enjoy operating today.  

I signed on to Idaho Leaders United because January 6th, 2021 should have every American concerned about the radical extremist and political violence in our country and our State of Idaho.  The United States of America has always been revered because we were able to transfer power and the leadership of our country peacefully.  That all changed on January 6th, 2021 and is the underlying event that motivated me to stand up and be heard.  I kind of have always been part of the silent majority.
