I have lived in central Ohio for 40 years, calling our family horse farm in Granville home for the past 25 of those years. As an Air Traffic Controller with 42 years of government service, I believe hard work in both my career and on our family horse farm, have been labors of love. Raising three children in Granville kept me very centered and involved in our community, helping coach youth sports teams, attending equestrian events and traveling with the school ski club. I am currently a Big Brother with the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Newark. I sing in my church choir and cantor leading the church in song. I love to golf and will hit the links when the opportunity strikes, especially if there is a charity golfing event where I can contribute. I have a private pilot's license and enjoy any opportunity to soar among the clouds.
