Professional
As a data scientist it's my job to understand the data and ask the critical question, why. My job is to make determinations based in the truth, or as close as I can get to it. This holds true if the data works in my favor or not. Data doesn't care about your feelings. I take my profession very seriously because my team can't make the best move if my insights are wrong, or worse, untruthful.
In previous roles I worked to help leading nonprofits bring real change into people's lives. I worked to make the Monterey Bay Aquarium more accessible for low income visitors. I helped manage CDC, UNICEF and others to combat the Zika virus by getting good information to locals in Brazil.
It is my mission to use my talents and skills serve my community.
Principles
I was raised in two worlds. One was firmly working class the other was the product of the gilded age. I love the feeling of satisfaction after working a job that requires a shower at the end of the day. I love equally the theatre, philosophy, and the arts. I still believe that one's honor and dignity is sacred and it is polished by adhering to the seven classical virtues; faith., justice, prudence, hope, temperance, fortitude, and charity.
Please read my Substack or watch my videos to understand how I think about these topics and how they guide me and my policies.
Core Values
Each component in the branding is carefully chosen to represent who I am and what I stand for. Overall, like me, it is simple, straightforward, and strong. I tell it like it is, even when I'm in the wrong or have made a mistake.
1. The red lion symbolizes the servant leader, defender, and teacher. These are my sacred duties.
2. The four red squares represent the four cornerstones that ensure the durability of our republic: feedom of speech, participation in the political process, rule of law, applied equally, right of self defense.
3. Truth and transparency are represented by two white lines, without these we can't come to any agreements at all.
