EDUCATION: Bristol High/ BCTHS Graduate 1991
OCCUPATION: Auto Technician/Express Service Foreman, Hamilton Honda
QUALIFICATIONS: Current Bristol Borough School Board Member; Prior President of
BCTHS School Board
ANSWER TO QUESTION: The significant concern that brings myself attention is the School
District has the ability to exceed on standardized testing giving Bristol Borough the recognition
that it has. We as parents, teachers and the community need to step forward and support our
students so they can accomplish any educational aspirations to the best of their abilities to make
Bristol Borough one of the leading educational facilities in Bucks County. Support, positivity
and motivation can change anyone’s abilities.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: The loss of programs while increasing taxes prompted me to run
for the School Board. As an Incumbent Candidate I am proud of what we have accomplished in
the last year, restoring several programs such as full day Kindergarten, music, band, and adding
an AP course to the curriculum. ALL of this was accomplished without ANY TAX INCREASE
TO TAXPAYERS. There is still much to be accomplished.

HOMETOWN: Bensalem
DOB: 07/80
EDUCATION: Bachelor of Arts-Economics
OCCUPATION: Healthcare Business Consultant: Logistics Manager
QUALIFICATIONS: My occupational background is in contract negotiations, capital
budgeting, and procurement.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: Previously full-day kindergarten, music, and other educational
programs were cut from the curriculum, and I felt strongly about getting involved with the
School Board. Now that the programs have been brought back, I’m very excited to become
involved and assist in ensuring these programs stay in place. I also believe I can contribute some
proficiency in capital budgeting to ensure that the budget deficit remains eliminated.
