Expand all | Collapse all

I was born and raised in Carbon County & and graduated from Lehighton High School. I embarked on my journey of service to our country by enlisting in the Army February 2001. After completing basic training at Fort Benning, GA, I was assigned to 2-2 Infantry, 1st Infantry Division and stationed at Vilseck Germany, serving as an 11B Infantryman from 2001 to 2005. During that time, I deployed to Kosovo (2002-2003) & Iraq (2004-2005). I was then reassigned to the 2nd Stryker Calvary Regiment from 2006-2014. During that time, I deployed to Iraq (2007-2009) & Rear Detachment 1SG (2010-2011). I was also the Commander for VFW Post 9224 Vilseck, Germany from (2010-2013). During my time as VFW Commander, I was highly active in the community which helped build strong German/American relations throughout the area by organizing countless community events to include toy drives for orphanages in Czechoslovakia. I then reclassed to 31B Military Police & Graduated from MP School at Fort Hunter Liggett, CA (2014) and was assigned to 361st MP Ashley, PA. I was then deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where I served as a guard in detainee operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I later retired honorably from the Military July 2nd, 2019.

I have watched with great sadness, our country and communities spiral completely out of control

As some who has served from the frontline to the home front, I understand the importance of the safety and security of our communities.
  • Term Limits & Accountability

    We the people demand term limits for all electable positions. There are politicians at local, state, and federal levels of Government who have remained in power for far too long. Career politicians allow our country no room for growth as a nation and put their own self-worth above the needs of the people. If the president has term limits, so should all other elected positions. People should be elected based on their own merit and not because of party affiliation.

    I believe strongly that every elected official should be held accountable for his/her actions. We as a community always deserve nothing but the best from our leadership. Standards need to be upheld and enforced, not overlooked and forgotten about.
  • Taxation Just so we are clear, I consider all taxation as theft. Every day, our tax dollars go to waste while people struggle to make ends meet. Many senior citizens are being forced to work well into retirement because of rising costs and increased taxation. Some seniors are losing their homes because of increased property taxes. This is completely shameful and unacceptable. Ask yourself why seniors are paying school taxes? I will fight to end all taxation for seniors who deserve to live in peace and comfort. We the people are pissed off!
  • Strengthen Communities & Infrastructure We are currently living in extremely dangerous times. Because of an open and unsecure border, we have never been more at risk of criminal activity or a terrorist attack. I believe that strength through unity and strong communities will be needed to combat this rising threat to our homes, families, and our way of life. All our children deserve to grow up in a safe a secure environment just as we did. The current state of our infrastructure is embarrassing and if you are a leader, you should hang your head in shame. Lack of foresight and years of severe neglect have put our infrastructure in jeopardy of failure. With no security at our southern border, our communities are at risk of failure.
I'm deeply committed to ensuring safety and security for all Pennsylvania residents. I'm not asking, I'm demanding accountability of all elected officials. We owe it to future generations to do what's right and take a stand now. Our children deserve to grow up in a safe and secure environment just as we did as children. "We the people", have had enough!!
Loyalty.... Loyalty to the people must be upheld at all times. Elected officials forget that the people come first before the party that they represent. We the people are supposed to hold the power, while political parties have become more powerful than the federal government. However, political parties are not as powerful as we the people.
Protect and serve the people at all costs. Never compromise the integrity of the position that you were elected to.
Increase of population due to unsecure border will overrun the abilities of our infrastructure.

Our ability to combat crime is currently entering a critical point across every community in the country.

Extreme education reform. We are falling behind other countries at a frightening rate.
End taxation for all Seniors & Veterans.
