I am a lifelong resident of Elmira and Chemung County, with deep roots in the community. My family has proudly called the Town of Elmira home since 1974. I am a graduate of Corning Community College, Elmira College, and the United States Sports Academy.
For twenty years, I worked in private industry as a manufacturer’s representative before transitioning to a career in education. I spent 21 years teaching history and economics at Southside High School, where I also served as the JV and Varsity baseball coach and athletic manager for all sports. Beyond the classroom, I’ve been actively involved in our community, coaching youth baseball, soccer, and football right here in the Town of Elmira.
I am running on the Republican ticket for Chemung County Legislator to represent the 7th District. My commitment is to serve with honesty and integrity, representing the people of the Town of Elmira, Chemung County, and the City of Elmira with pride.
While we can’t turn back the clock, I believe we can foster a renewed sense of pride in our community—one that encourages families to visit and inspires young people to build their futures here.
My goal is to take the politics out of politics and ensure our local government works for everyone. Doing what’s right for Chemung County shouldn’t be determined by party affiliation—it should be guided by what benefits all residents.
