About Me:

Upper Dublin Township Commissioner, gave up law to teach Social Studies at Germantown High in Philadelphia (the school where Frank Burd had his neck broken by students). I love working with teens as they all have such potential until they are given up on by their families and other adults in their lives. I am a stickler for doing what I think is write no matter what others may feel (that's the only way I am like George Bush). I am a stickler for ethics. I believe in the rule of law, not men. My wife and I have taught teens in Sunday School for 13 years. I have strong religious/ethical/moral views on what is right and wrong and many areas where there are shades of grey. I do not believe that reasoning for any government action should be 'because the bible says so' or 'because my religion says so'. Ask me anything and I'll answer -- you may or may not like it, but answer I will.
