Individual Narrative: 

Dear Greens: I was born and grew up in "slower Delaware." I have resided in New Castle County for the past 30 years. I am the proud father of two (adopted) children and, with my family, have lived in Newark for nearly 20 years. As a mental health counselor, I have dedicated myself to helping children and adults for over 25 years. I am committed to the Green Party and our 10 Key Values and strive to grow our party into a political leadership role locally and nationally.
