Return to Main IAEM Region 3 Voting Information Page
I have over 34 years total experience in the first responder and emergency management/homeland security field. Currently I am the County Administrator. I have served as a fire officer/EMT, elected Township Commissioner (Public Safety), Chief of Special Operations (hazmat/technical rescue), 911/Communications Center Director; municipal and county Emergency Management Director, receiving Professional Emergency Manager Certification in Pennsylvania. I have responded to the 1977 Johnstown Flood, Three Mile Island, 2003 Lehigh Valley SARS incident; and various snowstorms, drought, flooding, explosion, and tropical weather events in Pennsylvania and Florida. I responded September 11, 2001 to the World Trade Center as a FEMA Urban Search & Rescue (USAR) PA TF-1 Planning Team Manager. I was involved in working Florida hurricanes Charley, Frances, Jeanne, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma and significant events such as the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas conference, Organization of American States conference, NBA Championship, MTV Awards, Presidential visits, National Governor’s Conference, and others. I reside with my family in the Allentown, Pennsylvania area. I have been a member of NCCEM and IAEM since the early 1990's. At this point in my career, I wish to volunteer some of my time and experience back to my colleagues and our professional organization. Contact Information:
