Mike Rhoden
I am a very open minded person and have opinions that are not always popular in mainstream America. However, I value my first amendment right as a citizen of the greatest country in the world to express my opinions in an open forum. My background is as varied as my opinions. I have experience in business, sports, and religion. I currently own a computer business that designs web sites, troubleshoots computer problems that include hardware, software and programming issues as well as virus removal. I also teach computer classes on the do's and don'ts of running a computer, basic computer knowledge, wifi internet, and answer common how to questions. Furthermore, I have been married for 36 years to my soul mate and have 2 wonderful children and 4 grandchildren. I have been playing the bass guitar since I was 12 years old and I am an avid fisherman and hunter. I am disabled and have Parkinson's disease.
