Why are you seeking a position in local government?

As a resident of Abington Twp's Meadowbrook, I share Democrat, Republican, and Independent voter's values and concerns about the lawfulness, safety, and security of our neighborhoods. It is disheartening to see too many families in our area affected by various crimes ranging from senseless vandalism, disorderly conduct, violence at schools, vehicles speeding through neighborhoods, to home invasions, burglaries, car break-ins, physical assaults, and worse.

What are your qualifications/experience?

I’m a decorated Navy veteran, lifelong learner, businessman, active Coast Guard auxiliarist, Montco notarial officer, nonprofit Civility Foundation director, and Juris Doctorate candidate, A.K.A a Doctor of Law degree. I understand the law, and know the importance of sensible, reasonable conduct to ensure everyone (no matter your political party affiliation, race, sexual orientation, or religious creed) a safe and secure community. I may not be a politician, but I pledge to every voter that I will do everything in my power to foster civil, lawful, and just neighborhoods in Abington Township and Rockledge Borough.

What are three main issues you plan to take on in office?

Engaging with: 1.) Abington schools; 2.) places of worship; 3.) administrators/staff of dependency, juvenile, and reentry type programs; and the community in general --- as the Justice of Peace or Magistrate should do.

Who are elected official or political/community leaders who inspire you?

Josh Shapiro, Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Barack Obama, Benjamin Netanyahu, and our local leaders/Shepherds of faith & religion.

What are some other personal information details you want voters to know about you ahead of the election?

As a lifelong learner and nonprofit director, I took time off from my scholarly studies and nonprofit work to deploy as a US Coast Guard auxiliarist to the southwest border in Eagle Pass, Texas to assist our U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as well as to see for myself the activities at our US border.

If elected, as Abington/Rockedge's newly elected District Judge, I pledge to be a better judge, devoting my full attention to this vital judicial role, actively engaging with our entire community — you’ll appreciate me as your judge for my passion for justice and love for people, all people, though sometimes it’s gonna be tough love — and not the same kind of love we all have for the Campaign Cruiser.
