This information is provided by the candidate

I am the Democratic candidate for the 26th District in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

Raised in Montgomery County, I'm the son of a carpenter and school bus driver.

My parents worked hard to help send me and my three siblings to college. I graduated from Widener University with a degree in business administration.

One of my passions is writing. I worked for two daily newspapers over the course of several years, where I held elected officials accountable and tried to report the facts.

Three years ago, I ran a successful campaign for Spring City Council and became one of the youngest leaders in the borough's history + at age 28.

Since that time, I have been working on revitalization efforts with Main Street shop owners, launching the borough's first municipal website, and addressing critical needs at the wastewater treatment plant.

Professionally, I am a produce buyer for a family-owned grocery store.
