Candidate for Fayette County Treasurer
I was born and raised in Smock, Pennsylvania, where my connection to Fayette County began. During my teenage years, my family moved to Uniontown, where I have remained and built my life. This community has shaped who I am, and I am proud to call Fayette County home.
Today, I live in Uniontown with my wife Danielle and our two children, Donata and Jude. Our family is deeply rooted in this community, and we are committed to its continued growth and prosperity.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems and a Master's Degree in Information Assurance and Security. This educational foundation has provided me with the technical expertise and analytical skills necessary to manage financial systems effectively and ensure the security and accuracy of public funds.
I am an active member and youth leader at St. Therese Roman Catholic Church, where I work with young people in our community. My faith guides my commitment to service and my dedication to treating every resident of Fayette County with dignity and respect.
I come from a proud union family with deep roots in organized labor. My father and grandfather were members of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), understanding firsthand the importance of workers' rights and fair representation. My wife Danielle and her family are educators and members of the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA), continuing our family's tradition of supporting working families.
Quality education is the foundation of strong communities and economic growth.
Supporting workers' rights to organize and advocate for fair wages and safe working conditions.
Championing policies that support working families and economic opportunity for all.
As your County Treasurer, I will bring the same values that have guided my family for generations: hard work, integrity, and a commitment to serving others. I understand the challenges facing working families because I am one of them. I believe in the power of education to transform lives and the importance of supporting workers who build and sustain our communities.
My technical background, combined with my deep roots in Fayette County, positions me to modernize our treasurer's office while maintaining the fiscal responsibility our residents deserve. I am committed to transparent, accountable government that works for everyone.
