I have lived in the Lehigh Valley my entire life (Bethlehem, Catasauqua, Emmaus, and Easton). I am married with one child, a son who is a current junior in the Easton Area School District. We have three pets - a cat that showed up on our doorstep one night, a dog we rescued, and another cat we found that was abandoned by her mother. I competed in track & field in high school and college where I held two high school records (long jump and 200 meters) and one collegiate record (4x200m relay). I was a track & field coach at Salisbury High School for 8 years and the JV golf coach at Emmaus for 6 years before deciding to take time away to embrace the world of parenthood. Since 2015 I have been coaching youth soccer and, as of 2023, refereeing youth soccer.

Some assorted favorites of mine include: the New England Patriots; the Penn State Nittany Lions; Arsenal FC; playing fantasy sports; watching NFL football, PTI, and The Rookie; golfing; playing poker; chess; online gaming on PS5; listening to music; and traveling. Currently, I have set foot in 11 countries and 30 states with the goal of someday setting foot in all 50. Disneyland/World were my favorite vacation destinations!
