One voice. Clear vision.

I became a volunteer firefighter in the Philadelphia suburbs in 1989 and spent nearly a decade as a Chief Officer while serving on the city’s emergency management committee. Professionally, I spent nearly 20 years in the oil and gas industry as an expert in health, safety, and environmental regulations. During that time, I was fortunate enough to share my passion for safety with multiple regions throughout the county by partnering with labor, industry, and OSHA to establish safety councils that returned millions of dollars in redundancy costs to the regions where they operated, allowing industry to spend less on administrative costs, and put more workers on the tools instead of unemployment. 

At the heart of this are the hard-working men and women of America who labor tirelessly to support their families. Whether it is the business-owner, professional employee, craftsman, first responder, or military servant; the objective is the same. Return home each day, the same way you left, and provide a living for their families.

As a youth, Scouting was a huge part of my childhood, and I have carried those leadership and character development skills into my adult life. My wife and I are both fortunate to have the time to serve as Scout BSA leaders to help ensure that todays youth can form their values based upon the Foundations of Scouting. In addition to our Pack, Troop, and District duties, each summer we run a week-long district summer day camp for nearly 100 local youth. 

As your Madison County Board representative, the tenets of the Scout Oath and the 12 Points of the Scout Law will guide my decisions, the same as they do today, the same as they have for the previous decades.
