Hello fellow Asgardians! YOUR voices matter to me, so in anticipation of my intent to submit my bid for candidacy in the Parliamentary Election, I am seeking YOUR input!

1. What are some "hot" topics that YOU feel should be addressed by Parliament?
2. What do YOU expect from members of Parliament?
3. What do YOU feel should be a top priority for Parliament?
4. If there is any other input that you would like to offer, please feel free to do so!

We live in a world that is riddled with corruption, war, disease, poverty and destruction. Yet, we have governments playing games of political warfare dividing the people and inciting turmoil, all while the threats of actual war loom over each of our heads. Somewhere along the way, the governments of the world forgot (or choose to ignore) one of the greatest (and much needed) elements of all: THE PEOPLE .

I believe in Asgardia and all that it stands for. And, though Asgardia may be in its infancy, it truly is something remarkable. Asgardia in itself is a symbol of HOPE and shows a collective desire to do, and be, better than we are today. And while a lot of great things have already happened, or are on the horizon for Asgardia, there is still much to do. But, through the hard work and dedication of the hundreds of thousands of individuals like you, who are committed to the hope that Asgardia inspires, I know that WE can make change the paradigm of what it is to be a civilization.

That is why I am proud to announce my intent to submit a bid to run for candidacy for the Parliament of Asgardia.

Last weekend I got to live two hours of liberating music and euphoria, as a packed football stadium in all their differences, came together to celebrate what they had in common — their love of a band. The band was Coldplay and I was more excited than a kid at a sleepover party! I knew that memories from this night would be etched in my soul forever just like six years ago when I saw them live in concert for the first time. But this post is not about Coldplay and how inimitably awe-inspiring they are (disappointed?! — you can check out event pictures on my Instagram ). Instead, this post is about Celebrity Public Responsibility .

As a 20 year veteran in the Health and Public Safety sector, I have had the honor and privilege in serving as an Emergency Medical Services officer (EMT/EMT-P), 9-1-1 Dispatcher, Supervisor, and Director of City and Countywide Operations for Emergency Services.

Over the years, I have deployed on numerous natural and man-made disasters, including the Sept 11, 2001 attack in New York City, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and most recently, Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in 2017, and have had the privilege of serving and working with many dedicated and talented individuals.

Being a veteran in the Health and Public Safety sector, I have gained a vast working knowledge of healthcare, public safety, communications and disaster management and mitigation.

I look forward to working with Asgardia, and its citizens as we usher in a new era for mankind. Together, we can make a difference!

According to General Douglas MacArthur, the soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

I would like to take my experience and ensure the safety of the nation and it's people, not by acting, but by helping to plan on how to counter threats and by showing people how to become healthier and how to exercise, for our bodies are both science and art.

I would ask all of my fellow Asgardian's to recognize that the term "person" is only limited to a living being that is conceived by natural means. It is a being that has the expectation of a finite life span not an unlimited one. A person can not be a legal document, a robot, or any non-naturally occurring item.

I am in my early thirties, and my primary employment is to support Deaf children with Special Needs in the Baltimore City public school system. Some of my students are incapable of effective communication in the written form, because of their special needs. None of them would be capable of a verbal conversation without the use of assistive medical devices. There is no reason to exclude people like them from Arcadia, yet exclusion already occurs.

The most obvious point of exclusion? None of the many Sign Languages that exist on Earth are even considered a language by Arcadia. Because of the marginalization of the Deaf on Earth, none of them are even in consideration for Arcadia's 12 official languages. Our citizens will have Deaf children. They will also have children with Special Needs. They will have children with physical disabilities. They will have children with all of the above. Our government, and education system, must recognize such challenges so that we can solve them.

A strong minded individual ready to fight for the rights of all citizens. I look to the pillars of love, law, order and constitution if you want that im your man. I own a construction company and biohazard cleaning company on earth.   I have a iq of 146 certifed  from the mansa test. My problem solving will be key for this adventure.

Consider me as the candidate who will truly speak for you.  I seek the truth, will speak the truth and will rail against deception, obfuscation and disdain for the everyman.
