Welcome to my website. This is a place for me to keep up with friends and family. Born and raised on the wrong side of the tracks in northern Warren County I graduated from Lebanon High School. I graduated from Murray State University with a major in Parks and Recreation Management. My degree at MSU was completed with a certificate and minor in Non Profit Business Administration. While at Murray State I served as president of Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity, American Humanics Student Organization and Vice President of MSU’s InterFraternity Council.
After graduation I worked for the Columbus YMCA, then moved to Baton Rouge in 1996. While in Baton Rouge I worked as an assistant area supervisor for the East Baton Rouge Parks Commission. My wife graduated from LSU and we moved to Florida where she served on active duty in the Air Force as a Civil Engineer. While in Florida I worked as a substitute teacher, YMCA program supervisor and Child Safety Investigator with the Department of Children and Families.
We returned to Ohio in August of 2000. Working for Montgomery County Public Works in Parks and Recreation I began graduate school. In 2003 I finished graduate work at the University of Dayton and had my MPA in hand.
2003 also took me to a new position professionally with the Montgomery County Juvenile Court. I remained there until 2006. A brief stint in politics left me with a third place finish in a race for two seats in the 2005 elections for Kettering Council.
From 2006 - 20089 I served the Montgomery County Board of Elections as a Registration Supervisor. My spare time was spent managing the Campaign of Peggy Lehner for Ohio’s House. I was called upon to advise other campaigns throughout Montgomery County.
I now work for Kids Voting USA Dayton Ohio. Working in politics and with youth is the perfect collision of my two passions.
Besides long walks on the beach and taking photos of baby kittens, I spend time with my two sons, ages 6 and 8. One is a Cub Scout with a Mohawk the other is a Green Belt Karate student. We enjoy bike riding, geocaching, walking the dog, camping and sports. I am married to the former Melissa Graler of Lebanon, she is a full time homemaker and homeschooling mom. We have been married over 10 years and are proud to call Kettering our home since 2001.
