Employer/Current Role
Retired

Born and raised in Maryland. I had an early career as a firefighter/ paramedic and worked in Prince George’s county as a public housing inspector. I moved to the Eastern Shore in 2006, when a position brought me to St. Michaels. I came to know and love the community as my new home. I met my wife here and we were able to buy and rehab our forever home here in 2011. My current job as a Program Administrator/Quality Assurance Inspector for the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development primarily keeps me on the Western Shore but we always said “If you love where you live, it makes the commute bearable.”

During my 2 terms as Commissioner of the Town of St. Michaels I have accomplished many personal goals that have translated into advanced knowledge, skills and networking that impact my quest for positive change for the future of St. Michaels.
