I will assist community residents live healthier and happier lives by working with community health organizations and governmental organizations to research, develop, and implement programs to help people learn how to make healthier life choices. I will work to eliminate food and medical deserts that frequently exist in poor, rural, inner city and predominantly minority communities. I will assist in defining programs for tobacco users to help them desire to stop using tobacco. I will assist in reaching young, non-smokers before they take their fist puff or dipp to give them reasoning to never try tobacco and to try to get adults and others who smoke in their environments to cease. I will work to help develop green and safe places for youth and families to play and exercise. Finally I will work with community mental health organizations to provide assistance and support to those who need support to deal with everyday life situations.

I love to read about history and people's contributions to history. I write short stories about people I have encountered and places that have left fascinating memories with me. When not working on my PhD studies I am usually in my studio painting and listening to my many visitors stories. I also enjoy writing songs and singing. I like many types of music and attend concerts. A guilty pleasure is free online poker. All casinoes allow smoking therefore I cannot go to a real poker game, yea!
