Bio
Born 1959, West Virginia. Attended North Carolina School for the Arts, Marshall University and several other universities. Has worked on a seismographic ship, as an actor, a stage producer, a stand-up comic and country line dance instructor. He helped form the United Electrical Workers Union in West Virginia in 2006. He was the first gubernatorial candidate in the history of West Virginia to secure his place on the general election ballot before the primary election in 2002. Ran for US Senate in 2006.
In 2007, as Chair of the Mountain Party, he worked with Green Party co-Chair Steve Kramer to bring the Mountain Party into the world community of Green Parties, where they belong, as an affiliate of the GPUS. He continues to work toward that union, recently winning litigation in his state that now allows the GPUS to use the Mountain Party's ballot line, even as he runs for the Presidential nomination himself.
