Experience Incumbent Bucks County Prothonotary, Former Upper Makefield Supervisor, Best Selling Author, former member of the Economic Redevelopment Commission for the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Small Business Owner, ten- year Lecturer with The Smithsonian Institute WASH. DC, extensive project management skills.
I was awarded the prestigious Eastburn Award by the bipartisan Bucks County Bar Association of Lawyers. This gold star award was for making significant & lasting contributions to the Court of Common Pleas during my term as Prothonotary. Protection From Abuse Orders (restraining orders) are the responsibility of the Prothonotary. I have been a fierce advocate for Bucks County victims of domestic violence, launching an innovative online app & providing added victim assistance. I increased passport appointments & now offer 986 appointments a month. I re-opened the Levittown & Quakertown Passport Offices. Under my leadership, over 21,000 passports were done, creating $750,000.00 in revenue. I created the Self Help Legal Forms Library.

Service to Country and community are an integral part of who I am. I put tremendous value on the belief that every piece of paper that comes across the Prothonotary counter represents a very real person, usually going through an incredibly difficult period in their life. Myself and the Prothonotary staff put great emphasis on providing excellent customer service. I want to continue providing compassion, efficiency and professionalism to the residents of Bucks County. I want to continue the very important domestic violence initiatives which I started and make even further improvements. I am running for Prothontary because I love my Country, and I believe it is my responsibility to work to improve my community.
