"I was born in Arlington Virginia and lived there until 1985 when my family returned to Pennsylvania to live on the family farm, outside of Pittsburgh. Growing up in New Sewickley Township, I was exposed to life on the small family farm, and came to realize the value of small town life. I still prefer that lifestyle now, living in Reading Township with my wife Angela.
I am a 1997 graduate of Gettysburg College, with a degree in Chemistry. After graduation we went to Pittsburgh, where I went to school and worked for three years before returning to Gettysburg to work for the Information Technology Department. I currently work for Dickinson College's Library and Information Services Department as a Computing Specialist.
I got involved with the Green Party when a professor at Gettysburg expressed interest in forming a chapter of the Campus Greens organization. I had been interested in the Green Party and their politics and decided that I would attend. At the first meeting I met Jake Schindel and he invited me to attend the local Adams County Greens meetings. I have been an active member ever since and I am honored to be the Green Party Candidate for the 19th District."
