I started at JOG as an In-School Career Specialist and having worked in both Medina and Summit Counties. I then transitioned to an Out of School Specialist for a few years before becoming a Team Lead in Summit County. In 2018, JOG expanded and started new programming in Trumbull County, which is where I currently work as a Trumbull County Coordinator. In my time at JOG I have been the recipient of JAG’s Outstanding Specialist of the Year, Goodwill’s Employee of Distinction Honoree and JOG’s Community Leader of the Year honoring military service to our nation. A quote from Colin Powell that I believe is true is “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”

I reside with my wife, Niki, and two beautiful daughters in Salem, Ohio. I love doing anything outdoors and spending as much time outside year round. Aside from family activities, my favorite hobby is golfing.
