Thank you for visiting my website.  It’s certainly hard to believe that four years have gone by since I kicked off my last City Council campaign.   During my time on Council, I’ve moved our great city forward by taking a commonsense approach to understanding issues and concerns and using sound judgment to benefit the greater good of our community. 

As a lifelong resident of North Ridgeville, it is an honor and privilege to represent over 37,000 people that live here. As a sophomore in high school, I began working as a part-time dishwasher at O’Neill Healthcare, headquartered in North Ridgeville, and have remained with this company in various capacities for over 29 years!  My education includes a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management from Kent State University (earned through the Lorain County Community College University Partnership Program), and a Master of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration from Cleveland State University.  Today, as a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator, I now serve as the Director of Ancillary Services for all six O’Neill Healthcare senior campuses on Cleveland’s westside. 

After getting married, my wife Veronica and I decided to remain in North Ridgeville to raise our family, which has grown to five children and recently two grandchildren.

For the last 16+ years, I have been an active member of, and often held leadership roles in, various North Ridgeville organizations, including:

• City Council, as President of Council,
• Planning Commission,
• Tax Abatement Review Board,
• Ridgeville Ready! Master Plan Steering Committee,
• Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors,
• Senior Center Advisory Board,
• Hampton Place Homeowner’s Association Board of Directors, and
• Saint Peter Parish

 I have been dedicated and committed to supporting my community for many years!

I was first appointed to North Ridgeville City Council in 2021 to fill a vacant seat and was then elected by the people of North Ridgeville for a four-year term.  My fellow-Councilmembers selected me, among my peers, to serve as City Council President since my election.  I am now seeking re-election with the hope of using my EXPERIENCE to continue serving you and our community in the years to come!
