| Collapse all
I’m a father, farmer, businessperson, Madison Township supervisor, and 2nd Vice President of the PA School Bus Association, where I serve on the special needs, finance and legislative committees and as the Chair of the membership committee. I am the former Moscow Fire Chief. For more than 20 years, I’ve stepped up to leadership roles in my community knowing that service to others creates the best opportunities for everyone to thrive.
I love my community. I grew up in Scranton and later North Pocono, the son of a disabled war veteran and a woman who worked three jobs to support her family. By age 12, I was working after school, on weekends and full-time during the summers while juggling classes and football. After graduating from North Pocono High School, I went on to Lock Haven University where I studied history education and military sciences (ROTC). There, I began working in the industry for which I would later launch my first business—school transportation. The companies I now own and operate include Pocono Transportation Inc., Pocono Towing and Recovery LLC, Skelton Towing and Auto Care Plus.
- I am a firm believer of WE THE PEOPLE. I am running as a business owner, farmer, and parent who cannot stand by and watch the deterioration of our communities any longer. I am willing to stand with and for you to take back our freedoms.
- WE THE PEOPLE of Northeast Pennsylvania, need leaders, not bureaucrats, representing us in Harrisburg. We need leaders who have the strength of character to bring basic common sense to the issues Northeast Pennsylvanians face. We need leaders who understand our problems, concerns, and lives. As a businessperson, farmer, parent, and community leader, I will work to end government overreach that harms our children, businesses, and quality of life. I will stand with you and for you to take back our freedoms. As State Representative, I will champion common-sense reforms to improve the life of every resident of the 113th district of Pennsylvania.
- Aaden, my 12-year-old son, and I enjoy working together on projects such as restoration of antique farm tractors and road tractors, Working with heavy equipment , farm field work such as planting & bailing hay. We love researching family history, and sport shooting. My love for my son inspires my campaign for state representative. I know other parents have the same concerns I do; namely, we will leave our children a world that is unworthy of them. I am willing to stand up and advocate for my child’s education, health, prosperity and happiness. I know that you will do the same. A vote for me, is a vote for all that we love and cherish.
A proper education is crucial. Kids are overwhelmed, over-informed and under-performing in their academics. It is imperative we put the focus back on teaching the basics of reading, writing, history, math, literature, and science. Kids need sports and arts. What they don't need is an introduction to complex gender and sex issues and theories that stray from facts. Every child deserves a quality public education that emphasizes morality, sobriety, enterprise, and industry.
Secondly, the impending Emergency Services crisis must be addressed. Whether you live in Scranton or in a rural part of North Pocono, you are facing the same problem—understaffed emergency services. To make matters worse, non-emergency calls are frequently routed to the overworked and underfunded emergency services. We need to address this now before it turns into a crisis.
From a young age, I was taught the importance of understanding. I am aware that there is so much knowledge I have yet to obtain. I also recognize the reality of every individual is different. In order to learn, one must be open to hearing ideas and opinions that they disagree with or are uncomfortable with. Throughout my life, I found that the most impactful and substantial information I have retained has been through discourse with individuals I have disagreed with. The ability to be open to conversations and new ideas, as well as the ability to be understanding, allow me to analyze a situation in its entirety and come to the most beneficial outcome. Finally, my ability to encompass common sense in my decision-making gives me the strength to advocate for the freedoms of Pennsylvania residents.
I believe that representing the desires and voices of the constituents is the core responsibility of someone elected to State Representative. By working with the voters and understanding the concerns of the community, I can ensure that I am acting in the best interest of the 113th district.
One of my biggest concerns is that leave our children with a world that is unworthy of them and will ultimately be detrimental to their pursuits of success and happiness. My goal is to stand for our communities and fight for our freedoms to ensure that Pennsylvania remains a state where people can flourish and prosper.
I believe that compromise is essential for policymaking. It is crucial for elected officials to be understanding of the various opinions and beliefs held by others. In order to act on behalf of the 113th district of Pennsylvania, it is necessary for me to take all voices into account in order to create policies that best serve the citizens of Pennsylvania.
