A JOURNEY

Born and raised in the tight-knit community of West Deer, I learned the values of hard work, resilience, and community early on. From the age of 11 I began my journey in my family’s automotive business, working alongside my father. These formative years instilled in me a deep appreciation for local businesses and the importance of hard work and dedication to family.

Driven by a passion for understanding people, I pursued a degree in Human Services at La Roche University, and became the first in my family to attend college. This academic journey expanded my horizons and deepened my understanding of the human experience. Eager to contribute more directly to the well-being of my community, I subsequently enrolled in the Indiana University of Pennsylvania police academy.

For several years, I served as an accident investigator specializing in reconstruction, addressing critical issues affecting the safety of our roads and motor vehicles. This experience not only honed my problem-solving skills but also reinforced my commitment to public service. Despite the demands of this crucial role, my roots called me back to the family business, where I’ve proudly worked for the past 30 years, fostering a business that has been a cornerstone of our community.

A decade ago, I took on an additional responsibility by becoming a Pennsylvania State Constable, furthering my dedication to maintaining law and order in our region. Balancing the demands of both roles has been challenging, but it has allowed me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the diverse needs of our community. Additionally, I have a thorough understanding of the challenges faced by the men and women whom serve in the criminal justice system.

At the heart of my journey is the unwavering support of my wife and two daughters. Their encouragement and love inspire me to continue my service to the community, ensuring a brighter future for all. As I step into the political arena, I bring with me a wealth of experience, a deep understanding of community dynamics, and a proven track record of commitment.

I am honored to embark on this campaign, and I look forward to the opportunity to serve you, the residents and business of the House 30th District, with dedication, integrity, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact on our community.
