I am married with two children 21 and 15 years old.  I am very active in Scouting with my son Nicholas, who has Juvenile Batten Disease.  This Disease is fatal in the late teens to early twenties.  Many people say my priorities are not normal, but when you look at life differently things change.

I am married and have two wonderful young Adults. Both kids attended Norwood Elementary.  My daughter went to Patapsco HS and CFA and is presently studying IT at a local University.  My son Nick is attending MD School for the Blind and has a rare disorder called Juvenile Batten Disease(JNCL).  He is only one of four in the state of Maryland with JCNL.  He will go through things like as blindness, epilpsy, ALS and Alzheimers.

I am presently an Assistant Scoutmaster with Special Needs Troop 117 at Christian Community Church oin Orville Rd in Essex/Middle River. Our units do work with scouts throughout the Baltimore County Area.  I am also Chairman of The Committee for Scouts with Disabilities and Special Needs for the Baltimore Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America(BAC/BSA).  I also work with the Communications and Public Relations for the Chesapeake District of the BAC/BSA.

I am the president of Nicks Battle Foundation, Inc.  This group was founded to raise monies for research and support for kids with Juvenile Batten Disease.

My community involvement has included president of a community association, Past Govenor of Edgemere Moose, and working with local schools and community groups.
