I worked for several commercial companies before beginning my career in the defense industry with over 35 years of experience, I’ve served as a verification engineer, systems engineer, and engineering program manager at Lockheed Martin—leading mission-critical programs from concept to deployment. I’ve managed global teams, complex budgets, and high-stakes deliverables. I’m now ready to bring that same level of discipline, strategic thinking, and accountability to serve Upper Pottsgrove as township commissioner.

A resident of Upper Pottsgrove since 1988, my wife and I raised our two children who graduated from Pottsgrove schools. I also have coached 15 season of wrestling, softball and baseball in the community. This community means a lot to us, and I’m committed to helping it grow responsibly and sustainably.
