The Truth About My Past

May 2023

For several years, I had a secret identity as the other gender, living a lie. That lie is now behind me. ALL the social media that I had regarding that identity has been deleted.

We all have decisions and actions in our past that we regret. I realize that the transgender lifestyle is destructive, and that is one of the reasons I left it. It hurts families, and I want to warn others about elements in our schools that are pushing our students into this lifestyle. I have evidence that this is happening in Miamisburg.

However, there are still videos and pictures of that identity out there that I do not own and have no ability to get rid of. They are a reminder of my past that I would like to forget about.

Individuals who wish to shame me are sharing those around calling me a "Fraud" and a "Cross-Dresser." I admit that was my past, but it is not my present.

Transgenderism is destructive, and it should have no place in our schools

The Blog entry I wrote entitled Pride, Lies and Deception explains my position on this issue.

Pride, Lies and Deception

This addiction had control over me for a long time and hurt my Wife and my children. My wife prayed for me for many years and honored the Lord by staying with me despite my addiction. This addiction has damaged the relationship with my children. I will be paying the consequences for that for many years. I thank the Lord that my wife and church did not abandon me. I was not appreciative of those who tried to help me.

I have reflected back to understand what caused my addiction.

My father grew up in a dysfunctional family and brought that dysfunction into our home. Sometimes he would blow up and become violent, and I would run away. He never took the time to be a Dad to me, and he, too, had his secrets that created stress and dysfunction in our home.

My mother kept the peace in our home. She was always understanding, looked after me, helped me through issues of Dyslexia, and I was close to her. I grew up having a loving mom but a distant father.

Today I believe that my upbringing led me into this addiction.

Addiction fading away

In 2020, I got interested in politics out of concern for our country. I started campaigning for political candidates, made friends with people who wanted to make a difference in our nation and our schools. I started speaking out. As I got involved, my addiction diminished.

I watched the movie What is a woman read the book and was shocked by what transgenderism is doing to people.

I read the book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier and grew concerned about our students.

I expressed my concerns to the Miamisburg School Board in October 2020, and in February 2023, I made the decision to run for the Miamisburg School Board.
