About Me

I was born and raised in Lancaster County by my parents and homeschooled by my mom. Being the oldest of six made for a childhood full of memories. Watching my mom schedule, cook, and teach; and going to work with my dad installing HVAC systems installed a strong work ethic that has served me well. 

My time in law enforcement taught me so much about the world and opened my eyes to how other people live. Not everyone has a stable home, access to reliable transportation, quality education, healthcare, or a safety network. Transitioning to nonprofit work has allowed me to serve my community from a different perspective. I still work part time with high risk youth for a local nonprofit. My full time occupation is raising two sweet, crazy kids. My wife brings home the bacon so I can cook it. Seriously though, I love cooking. I also love reading and any outdoor activity. I drink lots of coffee, so please get a hold of me, I’d be happy to chat over a cup!

Why?

I believe that I have a unique perspective to bring to the East Hempfield Township Board of Supervisors. As a committed stay at home dad with a part time job, I will bring this perspective along with my experience in law enforcement, personal training, and nonprofit work to proactively find solutions for our community. I have always held a deep regard for our democratic system and attach great weight to the responsibility of local leaders to work diligently for their community. I am so excited by this opportunity to serve as Township Supervisor!
