Community and Personal Life:

“I was born and raised in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. I place a lot of value on community. Over the years, I’ve served as a board member or as a volunteer for a lot of different civic and charitable organizations. I really try to find ways to give back. May faith and my family are most important to me. I also have a deep love for the outdoors— biking, hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, paying golf, or skiing; I’m always looking for a reason to spend time outside with family and friends.”
