My mentors were my two grandfathers who helped shape and steer my philosophy, Mitchell Stevens and Archie Nash.
However, I looked up to my grandmother Ms Ione Nash, she was a legendary African Dancer, Teacher, pioneer, and Queen for the entire Philadelphia African Dance Community. It was her strength of living thru the late 1920’s until almost a century old, that gave me a clear vision on commitment, perseverance, and determination to doing and achieving your dreams.

Commitment to Serve Everyone when elected regardless of Race, Economic Standing, Age, Religious Beliefs and Political Affiliation.
Guard against unethical conduct.
Communicate and Collaborate between party lines, elected officials, and civic communities for the future growth and common good of all Pennsylvanians.
I am family man. First and foremost. A father of 4 , grand father of a growing 9, and the patriarch of my family. I have a BA in Accounting, with a focus in Finance and Tax, along with a Masters in Human Resource Management. I am a current member of the PA National Guard working in Logistics, serving under and for one of the states Combat Sustainment Support Battalions.
I feel with my leadership skills developed and used in the Guard, my employment background, working first for PECo for almost 12 years and then for PNC Wealth Management for almost 18 years and my commitment to serve, with my 15 years of service, allows me the opportunity to invest, and engage in the steps towards advocating and leading our citizens of this great State.

To uphold and represent democracy and to help to incorporate checks and balances with our elected governmental system.
The only impact I am striving for is seeing that I was one of the excellent examples for my family and our generations after me are able to look up to as gift for change, success and inspiration.
The first historical event was the birth of my first child. It was 1988, at the age of 18, and becoming a father and parent was a wonderful and emotional life growing event that helped shape the future and growth of my Family.
My first job was working for the Philadelphia Electric Company. PECO. Started working in 1987 until 1999. I worked in all levels of Customer Service and Computer Operations
The Man in the Corner, written my Martin A Dickerson, IV and the Godfather written by Marion Puzo.
Luke Skywalker. Jedi Master.
I can’t help it by Micheal Jackson.
Seeing that the harmony and good order of the world and circle we live in is protected and provided for on all levels. This has been my greatest challenge.
The ideal would be for the Governor to receive the collaborated thoughts and suggestions of the district representative, with an open minded and cooperative approach, where the public interest is satisfied across the entire spectrum.
Economic Growth, Personal Financial and Business Financial Sustainment and Public Policy Issues and Agendas that infringe on or derail our civil liberties. .
I do not believe lack of experience hinders legislation based off governmental and political experience.
We are all elected by the people for the people, and therefore work together as a elected unified group, so therefore we should not only work together but ensure that we also do not prejudice the working cycle of government business flow. Building solid professional working relationships only makes the bridge across the river stronger.
Good relationships boost the success of the Journey.

I grew up and first voted for Ronald Regan. So my roots start there, in making our society great again for everyone.
However, I would model myself closely around George W Bush. In the end he served his country, and his state admirably. And most importantly he helped to maintain a level of normalcy in the face of terroristic turmoil.

As of now, I am only interested running for office to serve as a State Representative for my home of Norristown, Conshohocken, and Plymouth Township.
I have a neighbor, who does not share my political background, but who has also served in the US Army, works for our County, and Borough of Norristown, and is a wonderful and recognizing voice for our block, and our neighbors. What I was touched by was that not only does he help to secure our children's safety as a crossing guard but also helps to raise and care for his grand child. His commitment to our neighborhood and his family is one of several reasons why I want to serve and advocate for our communities best interest.
I leave joke telling to Kevin Hart these days. . . Sorry am I was born without the gift to tell a good joke.
After the 2020 Pandemic, I feel increased legislature oversight, regarding emergency powers is paramount to our general way of life.
Continued efforts to easing Property and Homeowners Tax burdens.
The Gantt Family, The Dickerson Family, The Hamilton Family.
The State Committees I most would like to serve when elected would be Veterans Affairs, Finance, Education, Children & Youth, and Aging & Older Adults.
The vocal point and success to any working, evolving relationship is Financial Transparency. Clarity, and keeping our State Citizens and Business Leaders and Partners informed on how our government spends its Tax and Government Revenues is paramount to an effective financial organization. Thus, both, work hand in hand with creating an element where our Citizens can hold us the Public Servant accountable to serving the public. This then helps to restore and rebuild confidence, trust and sustainability.
I believe, yes they would be good for the State. Local initiative processes should be allowed, giving the voter the empowerment in taking the necessary steps towards allowing that voter, to have a real voice.
