I flew 750 hours combat and Operation Iraqi Freedom. And I came back to join my family's business after the Great Recession. It's an automotive logistics company headquartered in Detroit. And We were able to help grow the business from about 35 million to what it is today, which is a job creator for hundreds of Michiganders. And we're continuing to grow. I decided to get into politics even though I hate politics. I love this country, I love Michigan and I love who I do this for. (11:45–11:55)
