I am throwing my hat in the ring for a seat on the Allegany County Board of Commissioners as a Republican candidate.
I have been a resident of Allegany County for over 30 years and recently retired from a long career as Forest Manager at Green Ridge State Forest. My wife Cindy, a Lonaconing native, and I have two sons, both of whom still live and work in this area. We live in LaVale.
