I’ve spent years building and leading successful ventures. I owned a Christmas tree farm in Oregon, managing logistics to ship tens of thousands of trees nationwide and internationally each year, while wholesaling to resellers, including here in South Jersey. I’ve also coordinated major events like the Made in America Festival, Roots Picnic, and Red Bull Flutag and Cliff Diving series, working with city officials, unions, and sponsors to negotiate multi-million-dollar contracts and ensure public safety. I’ve started and sold businesses—some sparking entirely new markets—and recently handed a business to an employee at no cost, freeing me to serve our community more fully. At one point, I employed over 1,400 people, mastering multitasking to oversee operations without getting bogged down in the day-to-day.

Beyond business, I’ve been hands-on in Gloucester Township. As an elected member of the Board of Education for our Pre-K through 8th district—the largest in New Jersey—I advocate for students and parents, informed by my regular attendance at Council of Schools meetings. I’m a Gloucester Township Rotarian and a foundation member of the Gloucester Township & Pine Hill Rotary, where our “service above self” motto drives efforts like pantry boxes, senior assistance, and environmental cleanups. For years, I’ve attended Township Council meetings, launching the GT Observer Podcast to keep residents informed about local decisions—because transparency matters, even if the public can’t always be there.

My experience extends to economic development and real estate, from boosting rateables as a Chamber of Commerce member to buying and selling properties while learning how construction departments should function. I’ve managed budgets larger than our township’s, answering to shareholders of publicly traded companies, and led the successful sewer referendum campaign—where 80% of you voted against selling our system to the mayor’s employer. I’ve also attended countless public meetings—Planning Board, Zoning Board, Housing Authority, Fire Districts—to understand how our township operates.

Globally, I’ve made an impact too—helping build a school for deaf children in Jamaica and introducing axe throwing to the U.S., creating the world’s largest axe throwing tournament and the first all-women’s competitive axe throwing event. Before 40, I built a life where work became a choice, not a necessity, but I’ve chosen to serve.

I’m not here for attention or accolades. I’m here to deliver results—lower taxes through smart growth, stronger schools, and a government that works for you. With over 200 videos online sharing my stance, you know where I stand. As mayor, I’ll bring that same clarity, energy, and dedication to Gloucester Township.
