Expand all | Collapse all

I am a lifelong resident of PA and have been a resident of the Pittsburgh area since I graduated from The University of Pittsburgh in 2001. After years of owning a successful landscaping business, where I only employed local workers, I have decided to help bring change to the 27th district and the Pittsburgh area. I will work to ensure that everyone has the same opportunities for success that I have had by pushing for small government, quality education, and individual freedom. As the son of a schoolteacher and a truck driver, and the grandson of a coal miner, my parents and grandparents taught me the importance of family, hard work, and education. My maternal great grandmother and grandfather were born in the Crafton area. My grandfather rode the incline every day to go to work from where he lived on Mt. Washington. I have strong ties to this area and will work to see it thrive once again.
  • CONTROL SPENDING - I will focus on fiscal discipline, ensuring pension funding for our state retirees, focusing on lowering taxes for Pennsylvanians, while also making sure taxpayer money is spent responsibly
  • REBUILDING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE - Our roads and bridges are in dire need of repair and refurbishing and have been neglected by both parties for years
  • REBUILDING OUR ECONOMY - Tom Wolf’s rule-by-executive-order approach to governing during the pandemic left us with two years of business stiffling lockdowns that have destroyed hundreds of small businesses. I believe Pennsylvanians deserve better.
I believe in small government, and individual freedom. I believe when people are allowed to govern themselves, only then can they truly realize their potential. We need to lift the strangle hold on small business and free people to pursue their dreams. Government should be there to help people along, not get in their way. To make sure the free market is free, not pick winners and losers.

PA has the second highest corporate tax rate, and the highest gas tax in the nation. This drives businesses and JOBS out of the state. I will work to lower these rates and attract new businesses, small and large, to the state of Pennsylvania.

I believe in school choice and parents' rights. I will work to make sure parents are able to send their children to a quality school, no matter their income. I will work to make sure parents have a say in their children's education, and that schools are transparent as to their curriculum.

Our roads and bridges are some of the worst in the country, while we have the highest gas tax, that is supposed to fund road and bridge maintenance. I will work to bring accountability to Harrisburg, to ensure funds are being used as allocated, and the citizens of PA are getting the most for their money.

Government exists for and by the people, not the other way around. I believe government is there to protect our freedoms. I will do my best to make sure it does.
My parents. I get my work ethic from them. I never knew them to call off work. They got up every day, went to work and provided for me and my brother. They made sure we had everything we needed, made sure we were in school and doing our schoolwork. No matter how annoying it was to us, they made sure they knew where we were, and who we were with. We sat down together almost every day for dinner as a family. They taught me the importance of family, hard work, and education. I strive every day to make my parents proud, and to not let their hard work go to waste.
"A Time for Choosing" a speech by Ronald Reagan in 1964.

I am honest, hardworking, and strong-willed. I will say what I believe, and I will do what I say. I am ok with not being liked by everyone. People will know where I stand and will be able to make an informed decision as to their vote for me. I will work hard for the people I represent. I believe as a small business owner, I bring an outlook to Harrisburg and the 27th district of individualism that has been lacking for some time.
The explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger. I was six years old.
I worked for a contractor doing residential remodeling in high school. I did that for 2-3yrs until I went to college. There I worked for the Center for Latin American Studies. Later I worked for UPS as a part-time supervisor. My first job out of college was a supervisor at a glass plant. After being fired from that job, I realized I needed to work for myself and got into landscaping.
Fighting back against the draconian restrictions imposed by the climate change extremists. PA has huge reserves of coal, natural gas and oil. We could be one of the richest states in the country, but our government continually stifles industry and jobs.
Yes. I believe there should be emergency powers for the Governor, but those powers should be brief and limited.
Compromise is necessary, not always desirable. While I will always be open to compromise, I will strive to never compromise on my core values
