I have been a licensed real estate agent for over 30 years and have extensive experience with residential sales, land development, land/lot sales, farm sales, and local agricultural land preservation programs. I also manage seven family-owned commercial and residential investment properties in Carroll and Baltimore Counties. Additionally, I have worked on some very complicated and unusual real estate related projects over the years; for example, I was intimately involved in the negotiations and planning for the 4.5 mile conveyor system that connects Lehigh Cement’s New Windsor Quarry to their Union Bridge Manufacturing Plant (https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/carroll/news/ph-cc-lehigh-conveyor-progress-20160116-story.html).I am a Past President of the Carroll County REALTORS® (2014-2015) and am now actively involved on the state level with the Maryland REALTORS®, having recently chaired their Legislative Committee (2017-2018) and Issues Mobilization Committee (2019-2021). I am also a former long-serving member of their Finance Committee (2013-2022), a former RPAC Trustee (2019-2021), and have served on their Board of Directors and Executive Committee multiple times.I am a lifetime resident of Carroll County and care deeply for the community I serve. I have committed myself to various civic-minded activities over the years, having served on numerous local boards and task forces. Of note, I served on the City of Westminster’s Board of Zoning Appeals for 11 years (2010-2021) and Carroll County’s Planning and Zoning Commission for over 7 years (2013-2021), and then was finally persuaded to run for Westminster City Council in 2021 and ended up garnering the most votes of that election cycle, receiving 79% of the votes casted. In my new role on Westminster City Council, I chair our Council’s Economic and Community Development Committee and our Intergovernmental Relations Committee, and also serve as the ex officio member on the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission.I live in downtown Westminster with my wife Tina and our two sons, Nicholas and Gabriel. We are lovingly restoring our 120-year-old Victorian on historic Belle Grove Square. I love my family, my work, and my community!
