I’m a husband, father, and grandfather who believes that strong communities are built by neighbors who care about one another. Over the years, my family has lived in several parts of Chemung County, including the north side of Elmira, Horseheads, and Wellsburg. In 2010, we chose to make our home in the 12th District because of its welcoming neighborhoods, friendly residents, and strong sense of community.
More than 15 years later, I can confidently say it was the right decision. This district isn’t just where I live—it’s where I’ve built my life, raised my family, and formed lasting relationships with the people who make this community special.
Community involvement is important to me. Throughout the years I have served on several boards for various organizations including:
- Elmira City School District Board of Education – 2013 – 2020
- South Creek Lions Club – 2022 – 2026
- Chemung County Agricultural Society – 2023 – Present
- Chemung County Library District 2025 – Present
