Occupation Current MDJ
Qualifications Former Lehigh County Sheriff, Retired Allentown Police Officer, Current Magisterial District Judge for the Past 18 years
This campaign is non-political, as the Magisterial District Judge role is judiciary and non-partisan, ensuring impartiality. District Judges play a vital role in handling criminal and civil cases. With 34 years of service and experience as an Allentown Police Officer and current District Judge it has been my honor to serve and keep our community safe.

Qualifications Political Science studies in college, political podcaster, serving judge of elections.
One of the major issues in this campaign, is fighting the political division and erosion of rights that has began influencing our courts. Partisan politics has no place in our court rooms. My centrist democratic values will allow me to act impartially, and respect the rights of everyone in our community. My experience as a Judge of Elections has been a great foundation.
