Focusing on my Career

I’m enjoying my work as the Academic Program Coordinator – Supervisor in the Smeal College of Business at Penn State. I’m also serving on the Smeal Staff Advisory Committee as the Academic Unit representative. Additionally, I’m the Penn State Educational Office Professionals (PSEOP) Treasurer for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Continuing my Commitment to Community

I’m nearly finished with my first time serving in local government for Borough Council as a 2-Year Interim Councilman. I’m happy to share that I’m on the ballot for re-election in a standard 4-year term as Borough Councilman! I’m the Refuse & Recycling Chair for our community. I organized a community clean-up in April 2025 and am working on scheduling a second community clean-up in October 2025.

Finding Creativity in Nature

For the past year, I have been leading the Bald Eagle Nature Journaling Club as part of my commitment to the Pennsylvania Master Naturalists. Our next meeting is on November 15, 2025. We will be learning about the history of trapping in Pennsylvania and exploring our native predators.

Exploring Photography

I’m beginning to explore photography as art, especially on natural subjects like landscapes and plants. I look forward to sharing more about this journey on my blog.
