I was born and raised in upstate NY, the sixth of nine kids in a loving household. I graduated from Le Moyne College and spent the next 19 years in corporate manufacturing leadership roles in seven states.
In 2004, my wife, Anne Marie, and I settled in Huntersville to raise our two daughters. During my career, I have led a variety of manufacturing businesses, affording me experience in capital planning, budgeting, strategic planning, quality system development, and human resource management. My wife and I also owned a small business, opening and operating two successful Sport Clips franchise stores for 15 years.
Being part of a community is important to me. I am an active member of St. Mark Catholic Church. I am also a long-time youth soccer coach and have been fortunate to be involved with F3, a peer-led fitness community, for over 11 years. We support many community charities with not only dollars, but sweat equity, too.
I’m committed to use my leadership skills to serve Huntersville.
