I’m excited to join the Arc board and serve as treasurer for the organization. Our family moved to Columbus 12 years ago and we thoroughly enjoy the community.  My wife Lezlie is a yoga and meditation instructor in town.  Our son Jonathan attended Columbus North and graduated from IU with a microbiology degree.  He is currently completing a Biotechnology Masters program at IU.  Our daughter Suzanne also attended Columbus North and graduated from IU recently with a Speech Pathology degree and has been accepted into IU’s Master’s program in Speech Pathology. 

Professionally, I’ve been in banking my entire career. I work for First Financial Bank and manage the Bank’s Business Banking Credit Department.  I obtained my undergraduate degree from IU and my MBA from Xavier University. 

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my family, golfing, and watching IU sports (especially the IU women’s basketball team!)

Arc is a great organization, doing wonderful work in the community and I’m looking forward to helping in the effort!
