I grew up in Lancaster, PA and graduated from J.P. McCaskey high School.  I attended the University of Notre Dame and graduated with a Bachelor's  degree in Accountancy.  I earned my CPA certification in the state of Illinois after graduation.  For more than 40 years and have had the privilege of representing clients in Pennsylvania and Federal Courts.  I have been recognized by my peers and been given an "Av" rating by Martindale -Hubbell.  I have tried cases before juries and judges in 15 Pennsylvania counties, and the state of New Jersey on special admittance, and have represented clients in Federal cases in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Vermont. 

Interests other than practicing law include riding my Harley Davidson, and tending an orchard and amateur radio.
