Subscribe Family: Wife Leslie and daughter Ava. Does anyone in your family work in politics or government?: No. I am the first person in my family to participate in politics. Education: Bachelor of Science, Film Production from Full Sail University. Also studied Mechanical Engineering at Delaware County Community College. Occupation: CEO of Digital Exhibition Systems Inc., nine years; and Creative Director, Crimson Planet Media, six years. Former waiter and Lyft driver. Previous or Current Elected or Appointed Office: West Chester Democratic Committee, Representing Ward 7 (2018-2020) Why are you seeking elective office?: This last year has been rough, and a lot of our neighbors are hurting. I understand poverty in West Chester because I lived it. As a renter, I understand how 2/3 of the population of West Chester lives. Just because we don't own land, doesn't mean this town isn't our home too. Over 26 percent of our town lives in poverty, and I used to be one of them. When you attend Council meetings for a decade, as I have, you start to notice that it is rarely the working-class folks who have the time to come down and plead their issues.
