I earned my BA in business administration with a major in finance and a minor in economics at the University of South Florida. I earned my Juris Doctor and my MBA at the University of Florida where I also worked as a teaching assistant in the Economics Department. I practiced law in Florida, and I represented Max Linn, the Reform Party candidate for Governor of Florida in the 2006 election, in successful lawsuits brought against the media to require his inclusion in the Gubernatorial debates. I also represented John Russell, Clint Curtis, Frank Gonzalez, and others in contesting the official results of the 2006 elections in Florida state court and before the U.S. House of Representatives. I have been involved in the judicial reform movement since 2003, the media reform movement since 2004, and the election reform movement since 2006. Before those years, I believed that judges followed the law, that our media told us the truth, and that our votes were counted. Beliefs that most of us once held and that many still hold on to. Unfortunately, I learned that these beliefs were no longer true. However, I believe that we can counteract the forces which have destroyed these institutions if we face reality and take action before it is too late. Please remember that the American dream will die and our children will suffer if the people do not know what their government leaders are doing, if the people are not able to vote ineffective or corrupt leaders out of office, or if judges can ignore the law and the facts with no repercussions! I have been involved in the judicial reform movement since 2003, and I was one of the speakers at the National Judicial Reform Conference at Rice University in August of 2007 organized by the National Judicial Conduct and Disability Law Project. http://www.njcdlp.org/ I am also a member of the Fully Informed Jury Association http://www.fija.org/ and Democracy Defined http://www.democracydefined.org/
