Supervisor’s Note:
After several years away from the community where I was raised, I was blessed with the opportunity to return to Leighton Township a few years ago where my wife Tina and I are now raising a family of our own.  As each of you knows, Leighton Township is an ideal place to live, work, worship and play – and it is good to be home!

I am equally honored, now, to have been given the opportunity to become involved in our local governance; specifically, to be elected to the position of Township Supervisor.  While I am humble enough to recognize that I have plenty to learn, I am also confident that my years of experience in public service have prepared me for this responsibility.

My career in human services has led me into various areas, but most was concentrated around my work in the Kent County Child Welfare System.  I worked for 8 ½ years at a local private non-profit agency where I held numerous positions from Direct Care Counselor to Director of Child Welfare Services, administering several programs, including the area’s only emergency shelter for abused and neglected children.  I was also called to serve and lead several community- and state-wide boards and committees and was involved in legislative advocacy and policy change.
For the past two years I have operated an independent private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor at the Fountain Hill Center for Counseling and Consultation where I work directly with children, adults, families and couples.  I am also actively involved in my church, including in its leadership, and I own and operate a small real estate rental business.
I anticipate that it will take some time to settle into a consistent schedule, so my hours in the township office will likely vary at first.  I do plan, however, to keep regular, open office hours weekly on Thursday mornings from 8am-12pm.  Please feel free to stop in or call to schedule an appointment during that time.  Thank you for your support and I look forward to meeting with you!
