I was born in a hospital in Phillipsburg, New Jersey on February 10, 1952. My parents took me home to their hometown
of High Bridge, New Jersey where I grew up, was educated and still live.
My father owned a car dealership and a body shop. He enlisted in the Army and was a World War II veteran, a Chief Warrant
Officer. His unit received two presidential citations for bravery and duty above and beyond the call at the Battle of the
Bulge. He was and always will be my hero. After the war he became a car salesman. My mother worked in a dress factory
when I was younger. Then she became a hairdresser and eventually had seven beauty shops and owned several different businesses.
She is my other hero.
After graduating high school, I continued my education at a small private college nestled in the foothills of the Smokey
Mountains in Greeneville, Tenn. I majored with a B.A. in English Literature and with two minors in Spanish and Art
History.
I am a Catholic and my wife, Unni, is a Lutheran. I do not believe religion
should play any role in an election nor do I believe it should play any role in governing this country. I do believe, however,
that government should ensure that all citizens are free to follow the faiths of their choice as long as that faith and their
participation in it does not wish any harm to any other individual and does not seek to control any aspect of our government.
For the past 25 years or so, I have been a computer consultant. I am currently an Engagement Manager for a very
large consulting company based in New Jersey. We have over 6,000 employees and are positioned in over 100 countries. We service
the data analysis, contracting and government compliance needs of some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.
Most of my experience has been working for Fortune 100 companies located in New Jersey. I design, build and support critical
business software applications and databases that help these companies run their businesses in a productive, efficient
and profitable manner. I also have a small private business of my own called Maxham Computer Consulting. There we service private individuals and smaller businesses in my local community and surrounding county.
It is this computer experience that makes me think in common sensible ways. In the computer business we have a saying,
"Garbage in - Garbage out!" This means that if you build a system or process with bad data, bad software and poorly trained
and inexperienced semi-professionals, you will be guaranteed a system or process that doesn't work the way it is suppose to
work.
This is typically the way that our politicians in this country do things. There is no common sense about what they do.
Instead, what they do is spend our hard earned tax dollars to help their friends and business associates get even richer than
they are.
I have learned that this is not good for America. And it is certainly not good for America's people.
And I have also learned that the time has come to put a stop to it. And with your help - we will do it!
It's time for the lying, thieving weasels to go!

My Favorites things to do
I love to golf.
For the past 8 years, I have been on the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the High Bridge Hill's Golf Association. We are located at the High Bridge Hills Golf Club in historic High Bridge, New Jersey. I have just been relected to
the Board for another three year term.
I am a writer. I recently completed my latest book, Look No More, which is a romantic adventure about an ex-ace jet fighter pilot and a concert pianist who end up fighting terrorists in
war-torn Iraq.
I love Country music. I play the guitar and I like to think of myself as a singer. But my darling wife, Unni, the angel
that God sent to watch over me, often reminds me to keep my day job and not try to make it on my vocal chords alone.
And my wife is usually right about these things.
I also have a son, Charles Thomas Maxham II, 29, who lives in Texas and who is also a computer professional. He makes
me very proud of his accomplishments in life.
Visit me on My Space and let's chat about America's future.
