Building a stronger Mahoning County takes teamwork, planning and a willingness to keep learning.

Earlier this week, I attended the County Commissioners Association of Ohio Summer Symposium in Hamilton County as part of the Mahoning County Commissioners’ team.

The sessions covered county budgeting, disaster preparedness, leadership, the addiction crisis, data-center development and the growing use of artificial intelligence in government. These are real issues affecting counties across Ohio, including Mahoning County.

In my role working on capital programs and economic development, my responsibility is to gather useful information, build relationships and help turn good ideas into real results for our county.

Mahoning County has strong communities, hardworking people and tremendous potential. I am proud to be part of a team that is working every day to move our county forward.

The work continues.

Had a great night at the Canfield Fair Demolition Derby with Kristan Jones Santos and the boys. Plenty of noise, smoke and wrecked cars—exactly what you expect from a demolition derby!

Logan came prepared with the hearing protection, which was probably the smartest decision any of us made all night.

Nothing beats getting away for a few hours and spending some time together as a family. Thank you to the drivers, first responders and everyone who helped put on another great event at the Canfield Fair.

This past Friday, I had the honor of serving as a Guardian on a Veterans Honor Flight.

I’m proud to have been a small part of making the day memorable for my brothers and sisters who served during the Korean War, Vietnam War, and Desert Storm.

As a fellow veteran, this one meant a little more. Different generations, different wars, but the same commitment to our country and to each other. Hearing their stories, sharing some laughs, and spending the day alongside them is something I won’t forget.

These men and women are true American heroes, and it was an absolute honor to be there with them.

Semper Fi and God Bless our Veterans. 🇺🇸

Came down last night for the CCAO conference that kicked off today. Since I was in town, I reached out to a Marine buddy who lives down this way, and he invited me to join him at the 5th Annual Ci**rs, Bourbon & Badges event.

I was honored to attend and support a great event, but the best part was getting the opportunity to catch up with a fellow Marine and brother Steve Knapp (AKA “The Blue Power Ranger”)

Different careers, different paths, and a lot of years later—the brotherhood is still the brotherhood.

Semper Fi. 🇺🇸

AUSTINTOWN — Many senior citizens in the township can now rely on the Austintown Senior Center for a little extra help staying healthy. On Thursday, the center cut the ribbon on its new Telehealth, Health and Wellness Room. The converted office space provides technology for telehealth appointments...

Remember:💪🇺🇸

Real growth does not come from proving you are better than the person beside you. It comes from having the discipline to become better than you were yesterday. It comes from how you lift those up around you even if it pushes them ahead of you. That is true leadership.

You do not have to tear others down, question their abilities, or stand in the way of their progress to demonstrate your own value. Character is revealed through consistency, accountability, and results.

Keep moving forward. Keep doing the work. Let your actions speak for themselves. 💪🇺🇸

“Devil Dog” spelled backwards is “God Lived.”

Coincidence? I think not. 🇺🇸 🦅🌎🙏

Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi.
