I moved to Middletown in 1979 to the wonderful community known as “High Meadows”. As a child, I attended Roosevelt Elementary school and was part of the last graduating class from the building. I attended Springton Lake Middle School and graduated from Penncrest High School in 1990. After earning my degree in Technology Education from Millersville University, I was thrilled to receive a teaching offer in the Rose Tree Media School District. I have been a S.T.E.M. education teacher there ever since, for many years at Springton Lake Middle School and now at Penncrest High School. 

My wife Juli and I have raised our three children--Alyson (Penncrest ‘12), Lia (Penncrest ‘17) and Adam (Penncrest ‘19) in Middletown and have spent nearly three decades enjoying this township’s unique magic as a family. From the great schools to the beautiful trails and the rich history and sense of tradition, Middletown has been the perfect home for us. It is now time for me to give back to the community that has nurtured me and my family for so long, by focusing on what has made it so special. 

Middletown has been a rock of stability for so many families because of its honest, hard working citizens, who have long been given a strong voice in the evolution of the township. It has attracted and retained its citizens with its conservation of historic open spaces, its low taxes, and its transparency and engagement with citizens. I have lived and thrived here for almost all of my life, and want to become a voice for township residents to help preserve and continue improving what has made this township great.
