Experience Small business owner for 35 years; Solebury Township Supervisor, 8 years (7 as Board Chair)
What I consider most important is to provide the residents of Solebury Township with the level of service they expect--with public safety first and foremost--and to do so on a fiscally and environmentally responsible basis.
I am running for a third term out of my desire to keep Solebury the great place to live that it has been for many years.
I am a 32-year Solebury resident, and have been the Chair of the Board of Supervisors for 7 of the 8 years I've been on the Board. My many years running a small business and my legal and financial training have also been and will continue to be of great value to me in the performance of my duties as a supervisor.

Solebury has a pressing problem with affordable housing for our young adults and families. By working with the planning board and on modification of the SALDO (Subdivision and Land Ordinances) I will set in motion the opportunity for accessory dwellings on existing large parcels as a solution to this problem. We can still preserve our wide-open space of the township while providing for the next generation of families places to live and grow with the towship.
I have been involved with the township for the past 5 years, serving on the Planning Committee as associate member and full member. Planning reviews ordinaces changes, comprehensive plans, construction projects and reviews these items, prior to recomending these going forward to the board of supervisors. I have also been involved in reviewing and editing comrehensive plans, parj and recreation plans, as well as attending almost all township board of supervisor meetings. I am activly participating and contributing and will be a key asset for the board bringing years of experience for projects and solutions to day to day issues facing Solebury.
Member of the planning board, Director of engineering for over 20 years, people manager and problem solver.
