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.

I currently have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Science and hold a position with my local library system acting as an Adult Research Assistant as well as a Public Access Computer Assistant. I have worked as a Park Ranger Aide and a Customer Service Representative. I am well read and ready to listen to suggestions to better myself and those around me. I have always been someone willing to help those that need me and am ready to look to the future together.

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.

Good day Asgardians!

There has been much discussion about space governance in the past here on the groups and in the Forums. So I wanted to share this bit of information on that topic.

For over two, years some 80 space scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, regulators and space lawyers from around the world have been engaged in an ‘International Study on Global Space Governance’. In advance of its publication later this year, the articles in this special section of ROOM highlights key aspects of the study and assess some of the many challenges to establishing a viable and effective rule of law governing activities in outer space.
