āThe way I see it, being part of a community isnāt just about attending meetingsāitās about having skin in the game.ā

I didnāt grow up with political ambitions. I grew up working on a farm in Horsham, Pennsylvania. From a young age, I learned the value of hard workāfeeding animals, cleaning up after them, stacking hay, and doing whatever else needed to be done. That early experience shaped how I approach life: hands-on, consistent, and grounded in responsibility.
Today, my wife and I are raising our kids on a small farm in Moore Township. We keep chickens, geese, rabbits, and hogsānot on a large scale, but enough to teach our children what work looks like and to stay connected to something real. Itās not always neat or easy, but thereās a sense of purpose in taking care of whatās yours.
š ļø āYou canāt ignore problems, and you donāt cut corners.ā
Farming, even on a small scale, keeps you honest. That mindset carries over into every other part of my lifeāincluding public service.
Iāve always believed that local governmentāand especially the court systemāshould operate the same way: practical, transparent, and accountable to the people it serves. Thatās part of why Iām running for Magisterial District Judge 03-3-02āto bring those values into the courtroom.
Living and working in Moore Township gives me a real understanding of what people in this community deal with every day. Whether itās zoning concerns, local development, or just the basic need for fairness in the legal system, Iāve been there. Iāve spoken up, Iāve organized, and Iāve stood with neighbors when it mattered.
My familyās here. Our roots are here. And I want to do my part to keep this place moving in the right direction.
