Fun Facts About Me
- From a young boy, I was fascinated with school buses and always wanted to drive one. My crazy dream became a reality when I bought a 1978 International Harvester school bus online and converted it to an RV. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the idea for the "Cool Bus" was born, and ORP has since used this bus as a location for Flu and COVID-19 vaccine clinic.
- I was involved with a 4H club that focused on horses. I was Maryland State Champion in Western Riding in high school.
- I ran indoor and outdoor track and played tennis in high school and rowed crew and was on the equestrian team in college.
