Born and raised in Levittown, Pennsylvania, a graduate of Harry S. Truman High School, I studied at Bucks County Community College and several trade programs. Dedicated to community service, I spent several years as a volunteer firefighter before moving to the Tampa Bay region of Florida.
In Florida, I worked as a real estate appraiser specializing in Eminent Domain, helping lawyers, property owners, and business owners negotiate fair settlements with the government. My commitment to fairness and equity has always been at the forefront of everything I do.
In 2007, I moved to Whitehall, Ohio. Here, I work as a machinist while raising my daughter and up until recently caring for my elderly father. My dedication to family and community has shaped my vision for a better future.
Now, it is time for me to focus on making our community a better place by identifying the root causes of challenges and developing community-based solutions to bring about positive change.- The importance of protecting personal freedoms, opposing regulations that infringe on individual rights.
- Focused on finding community based solutions with minimal government involvement.
- Advocating for increased transparency in government operations, ensuring officials are held accountable for their actions at all levels of our government.
“The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free.”
