Dennis grew up on a dairy farm in Ohio where he learned how to fix things and solve real-world problems. After his mom filled out the application he landed at the Air Force Academy and later received his Master's at CU Boulder.

After a storied but not overly lucrative software engineering career working on the likes of cool NASA projects and converting TV from analog to digital, he channeled his inner Aristotle into analyzing good governance. He takes his oath to defend the Constitution seriously, and as a result authored three books: Stability, Clarity and Justice; The Road to Americanism, and Pocket Guide to Communism.
