I grew up in Carroll County, and have spent most of my life living in Maryland. I graduated from the University of Maryland with an undergraduate degree in English and a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction. I enjoyed being a teacher in Montgomery County before transitioning into management and eventually Human Resources. I am passionate about supporting organizations and the staff members that make them successful. To be part of a team that supports families in the local community is an honor.

I currently live in Frederick, MD with my wife Chelsea who is an archivist with the Library of Congress. I have two pets. A Chihuhua/Beagle mix who lives for cuddles named Ginny and her bashful cat brother Shaggy. I enjoy spending my free time traveling, visiting amusement parks, relaxing with my wife, and rooting for the Capitals, Ravens, and Orioles.
