“I was born in New York City, Brooklyn to be more exact. I moved here in the mid-eighties. We lived in the Borough of  East Washington, on East Chestnut street. I attended Washington elementary, middle and of course Wash high. I graduated in 1993 and hit the road. My adventures led me to Cedar Point in Ohio where I met my wife Lynette. When we decided to settle down and have a family, We chose Washington as a great place to raise a family and start our careers. We Have 3 children Jordan 23, Rae 23, and Jaycee 17. We moved back to the Borough of East Washington in 2016. I work as New car sales manager for Bobby Rahal BMW in Canonsburg, and I am in my 17th year there.

I decided to take an active role in the community by joining the East Washington Borough Council. I felt like I wanted to contribute anything I could to my community. My family and I very happy to members of this great community.”
