To assure growth, both businesses and open space, that can be sustained. I will gather input from all residents.
I have lived in Perkasie for 35 years and am committed to my town and its residents. I was asked by a young neighbor (my son’s peer) and decided it was time.
Working with struggling families, I help solve problems and teach how to sustain solutions by using supports and community.

Short answer? Fiscal responsibility to keep Perkasie the safe, friendly and peaceful family-oriented town it is now. I believe in maintaining the current team and services first. Expanding services when the Borough can fully fund additional projects.
After 40 years of chasing and living “the American Dream” it is time for me to give back to the community we have lived in for the past 25 years. I retired two years ago and wanted to see if there is any way I can serve Perkasie.
I worked in the IT and Software industry for 30 years, helping customers successfully design, build, and implement projects that add business value to their organizations. For many years, I made it my mission to look for red flags and remove roadblocks on projects, ensuring successful completion.
