This information is provided by the candidate

I was born and raised in Luzerne County. My family placed strong emphasis on community, so I consequently decided to earn my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Public Policy, knowing that I could use this education to help Northeast Pennsylvania. It's not something you can explain. I always have to tell people that the only way to understand the way I feel about NEPA is to live here.

I attended the Rochester Institute of Technology from 2003-2007 in pursuit of these degrees, researching topics such as health care, education, agriculture, technology, and energy.

Upon graduation from RIT I immediately began my legal education at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law to gain more insight into the policy arena.

As the son of a Pittston Area School Director, I gained insight into the intricacies of the local issues and plan to use this education and dedication to fight for real results.
