OFA Fellow/Erie County LGBT Democrat Committee Member/Erie Ambassador/Culinary Artist/Community Development Organizer
These articles and newspaper clips are just scratching the surface of being active in Erie for 25 years. It all started in 1991 when I was a Weather Watcher for WSEE with Tim Earl to WJET Weather From Your Neighborhood during the 4th of July.
I have plenty more of how I have grown from a young campaigner in 1994 to a candidate for City Council in 2017.
I have plenty more from being an LGBT citizen marching in our Pride's parade to be trained as a SpokesLeader with the largest non-profit for the LGBT Community in the Commonwealth, bringing a Nationwide LGBT movement to Erie and getting the blessing and support from a grass root LGBT organization founded in Erie County.
I have plenty more from the days at Our Lady of Mount Carmel to Penn State Erie, The Behrend College.
I have plenty more from the committee to raise Erie PA's Old Glory in 2001 to the current Erie County Chapter of the National Flag Foundation.
I have plenty more from my first job at the Erie SeaWolves to being a chef in many of the kitchens in Erie.
I have plenty more from when I was just starting out to being an Erie Ambassador and Young Erie Professional.
I have plenty more pictures, articles, clippings, magazine publications and a social media imprint of just being me for the past 25 years living, loving, learning, laughing in the City of Erie.
You have seen me grow up before your eyes and have heard my name. I hope to share my experience and leadership with you when we can build bridges with sitting down and getting to know one another. Please contact me so we can start building bridges and to keep moving upward and onward with excelling not only ourselves but Erie! I hope you take all that into consideration when you go to the polls in May. #WeHeartErie
