A Track Record of Success in Financial Services

My career as a banker has equipped me with the expertise to handle complex financial matters and the discipline to make sound, data-driven decisions. I understand how to balance budgets, ensure accountability, and find opportunities for growth.

I have taken on progressively greater responsibilities across commercial and investment banking. From navigating complex financial challenges, achieving compliance and risk management objectives, to optimizing operations and driving strategic initiatives, I have consistently delivered results that advance organizational goals and enhance performance.

My career began with my first role out of college at The Bank of New York, where I gained a strong foundation in financial services. From there, I progressed to roles of increasing responsibility and scope at European American Bank, LaSalle National Bank, ABN AMRO Bank, and Bank of America. My last role in financial services was as a partner at The Chicago Corporation, a boutique investment banking firm.

These experiences have refined my expertise in financial oversight, auditing, and operational transparency, equipping me to effectively lead and manage the operations of the Controller’s office.

Impeccable Ethics

Throughout my career, I have worked exclusively in regulated entities, maintaining the highest standards of integrity and compliance. I am deeply committed to ethical governance and fostering trust with the public. As Controller, I will prioritize transparency and accountability, ensuring every dollar is accounted for and spent in alignment with our county's values and needs.

A Personal Commitment to Delaware County

Beyond my professional background, I bring a deep personal commitment to this community. My family and I chose to make Delaware County our home four years ago because we saw a place full of potential and promise. Since then, I’ve volunteered with our local fire company and historical society, working alongside neighbors to preserve the safety and history that make this area so special.

Whether I’m experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes, giving a second chance to a rescue pet, or listening to a neighbor’s concerns, I’ve come to understand that small, meaningful actions build trust, strengthen community, and drive lasting change.

Community Leadership

I have taken on leadership roles that reflect my dedication to public service, including:

• Vice Chairman, Newtown Township Municipal Authority

• Member, Delaware County Fire and Life Safety Board

• Financial Secretary, Public Information Officer and Fire Police Officer, Newtown Square Fire Company (www.nsfc.org)

• Treasurer, Newtown Square Historical Society (www.nshistory.org)

• Treasurer, Center for Neighborhood Technology (national not-for-profit focused on creating equitable and sustainable communities: www.cnt.org)

• Co-Founder, ChicagoFIRST (a public-private sector partnership created after 9/11 ensuring resilience of critical infrastructure: www.chicagofirst.org)

I have collaborated with others to deliver impactful solutions with limited resources, strengthened my commitment to public service, and deepened my dedication to ethical and transparent operations. I also value the importance of connection and compassion.

Ready to Serve

I am ready to bring the same commitment and care to serving Delaware County as I do to every aspect of my life. Together, we can build a brighter future for Delaware County. I look forward to working with County Council and the citizens of Delaware County to build a government that serves everyone transparently and effectively.

Thank you for considering me as your candidate for County Controller. I look forward to earning your trust and your vote.
