For over four decades, my life has been defined by one simple mission: serving the people of Berks County. From my early days in the Sheriff’s office to my current role as your State Representative, I have remained deeply rooted in our community. I am proud to call Lower Heidelberg Township home, where I live with my wife and stepdaughter, surrounded by the neighbors and friends I work hard to represent every day in Harrisburg.
A Proven Record of Public Safety
My career began in 1984 as a deputy sheriff with the Berks County Sheriff’s Office. Over the course of 40 years, I moved through the ranks—serving as Assistant Chief Deputy and eventually Chief Deputy—before the residents of Berks County honored me by electing me as their Sheriff in 2007.
In 2024, I brought that same commitment to service to the Pennsylvania General Assembly. As your State Representative for the 5th Legislative District, I have focused on the issues that matter most to our community: defending our constitutional rights, supporting our local economy, and ensuring that our schools prepare the next generation for success.
In Harrisburg, I am proud to serve on key committees that directly impact our daily lives:
- Local Government & State Government: Fighting for fiscal responsibility and common-sense reforms.
- Housing & Community Development: Ensuring Berks County remains an affordable and thriving place to live.
- Human Services: Protecting our most vulnerable and supporting the resources our families depend on.
Our Future Together
Public service is not just a job; it is a duty to the people who trust me to represent their values. While I am proud of the progress we have made, there is still more work to be done to ensure safe streets, family-sustaining jobs, and a world-class education for our children.
I am asking for your support as I continue to fight for the future of our district. Let’s keep working together to keep Berks County the best place to live, work, and raise a family.
