About Us
Hi there! Welcome! Carol and I are just a couple who decided we wanted to have a place to discuss local Collin County Texas politics and other issues impacting this part of the great state of Texas in hopes of stimulating conversation and more citizen involvement. We will have on Elected officials, candidates and other individuals who make up the fabric of the local community governments to give you the direct information and answers to the topics and issues effecting the Cities in Collin County. We will also strive to branch out to talk about State and Federal Government issues that impact Collin County. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoy making it!

I’m a yankee who finally found his way to Texas in 2010.
Born and raised in the southeastern Massachusetts area, then spending 12 years in San Diego California, I finally made my way to Texas.
Shortly after arriving I found my wonderful wife Carol and it has been nothing short of amazing since. I have always had a deep love of American history and in recent years it has turned into a deep love of our constitution and politics.
After becoming active in Collin County politics the past few years, the creation of this podcast was a natural progression in my desire to be engaged with the community and stir the passion of others to become involved in the political landscape.
We hope that you find this informative and helpful in some small way. Thanks for listening!

I am a total brat. Air Force brat, that is. I grew up on military bases my entire childhood until I was 17 years old when my father retired here in Texas. Texas is the place I call home, but that does not take away from my amazing upbringing that occurred all over the United States and even Italy for a few years.
As an Air Force brat, I naturally grew up with a great love for our country. Even the sight of our country’s flag in a parade has been known to bring a tear to my eye. I absolutely loved growing up in what is essentially a melting pot of people from different backgrounds. Moving and making friends every two to three years would seem scary to some, but it made me who I am today and gave me the ability to boldly walk into a room of people and leave with more friends than I came in with.
I became involved in local politics a few years ago here in Collin County. My husband and I love block walking for local candidates and meeting people in our city. We have helped with a few local elections and discovered that we love doing this together. So, when my husband woke up one day and said that he’d had a dream that we were going to do a podcast to help local citizens gain more knowledge about candidates and issues, I thought about it for a few days and jumped on board!
Thank you for checking out the NPYC podcast and we hope that you enjoy it. Remember…you too can get involved and make a difference. All you need is to start attending local government meetings and start asking questions. Trust me…it is a lot more fun that you would think!
