I was born in Pontiac, Michigan but grew up in Lake Wales, Florida.

From 1997-2001 I served as an Airborne Infantryman in the 82nd Airborne Division. I served in the 2nd Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment as an M-249 SAW gunner, FGM-148 Javelin gunner, R.T.O. and Fire Team Leader.

I attended The Florida State University, where I graduated with a B.S. in Political Science & Social Science in 2005. In 2019, I graduated from the George Washington University, where I received my Masters in Political Management. In 2022, I received my Juris Doctorate at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.

I am a member of The Greek Orthodox Church.

From 2005-2010, I worked in the Florida Senate as a Legislative Aide. During the 2018 Legislative Session, I worked for the Michigan Senate as a Legislative Aide. From 2006 - 2018, I ran political campaigns for both Republican Party and Democratic Party candidates.

I primarily write about politicians and candidates for political office because I believe it is too difficult for voters to find comprehensive information about candidates (especially state and local) that is accurate.
