I am a lifelong resident of Stark County. Growing up in Canton, I attended grade school at Our Lady of Peace and graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas. I hold an associate degree from Taft Jr. College in Social Science and later graduated from Stark State, in 1996, in Business Development.

 

In 1974, I married my high school sweetheart, Karen, and will soon celebrate 44 years in April. Together we've been blessed with two daughters, Kellie and Kimberly, and her husband, Brad.

We have two grandsons, Logan (11) and Cameron (4).

 

For most of my life, I've been involved with the community and some form of customer service and sales. I've also been involved in banking, and construction of some kind. Served two terms on the Building Industry Association of Stark County. Stark State Foundation board, and past president and treasurer alumni board.
