Community leader. Parent. Conservationist. Problem solver. Your neighbor.

Announcement of Candidacy

After Baltimore County Councilman Wade Kach’s announcement that he would not seek another term, I have been asked by quite a few North County residents to represent their community and environmental interests before the council.

I am a highly accomplished, trusted advisor and problem-solver with 20+ years of experience in the nonprofit sector and 25 years as a small business owner and fishing guide in Baltimore County. I have deep knowledge in protecting land uses, water quality, sensitive species, and our community’s recreational, aesthetic and environmental interests.

In the nonprofit sector I have worked collaboratively and across the aisle with elected officials in both Harford and Baltimore Counties on various legislative matters, served on local and regional nonprofit boards, and state water quality and environmental committees, and have litigated when necessary to protect community and environmental issues.
