Born and raised in a small town in Northwest Pennsylvania call Union City. Attended Erie Business Center where I received an Associates Degree in Computer Systems and Management Science. Married to my lovely wife Robin shortly after college with whom I have 3 wonderful children and 5 grandchildren. Enlisted into the United State Marine Corps for a four year tour where I was taught how to be an Air Traffic Controller. After the Marines I was hired by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as an Air Traffic Controller. Retired from the FAA after 33 1/2 years as a Certified Professional Air Traffic Controller.

I love to hunt, fish, camp, travel, and just spend time doing something outside. My Faith and Family our my core values.
