I graduated from Avon Grove High School in 1978. I currently live in Franklin Township with my wife, Marie, and two sons, Andre and Julian.

I have deep roots in this community, as my family has lived in the West Grove area for over 100 years. I have spent the last 40 years working in the manufacturing industry. During my career, I have had the opportunity to work for several large organizations; Hewlett Packard (Avondale, PA), Synthes (West Chester, PA), and Johnson & Johnson (West Chester, PA). I am currently a Manufacturing Supervisor with Bloom Energy, which is a clean, renewable energy company in Newark, DE. These companies have provided me the opportunity to work with talented team members that have enhanced my coaching, mentoring, and leadership skills. My team management motto has been, “If you want to be happy, do something for yourself, but if you want to be fulfilled, do something for others.”

In addition to my business career, I have served as a Pennsylvania State Constable for over 14 years. As a State Constable, I used a similar leadership approach when engaging with people in challenging situations. Many times, people who are experiencing difficult times just need someone to listen to, provide guidance, and show compassion.
