Other facts
In several of my positions, I was trained in business and corporate management. I have done large and small construction projects in five states for over 25 years, e.g. I was the project manager for a 9,600-square-foot construction project in Williamstown. I currently own a company which promotes sustainable products. I have been lucky enough to particpate in projects and progams in the town recreation department, Moorestown Youth Baseball, the town school system, the Strawbridge Lake Association, and with the town theater program MoorArts, which benefits youth scholarships. I was chair of the 3rd Floor Committee, which for seven years led the conversion of the third floor of the rec building into a town youth center. I have attended council meetings since 1995 and when possible tried to contribute facts they could use to reach good solutions. I am lucky to be running with Brian and Mark, two smart and hard-working guys who care about the town. Lastly, I feel Moorestown is a great town where we try to make sure everyone is valued and listened to and my family and I have been lucky to live here.
