Allegheny Mountain
Winner by Acclamation (Ran unopposed)
I have owned in Pittsburgh for almost 40 years, and I was an amateur boxer. I have worked with athletes and enjoy motivating and empowering them through competitive sports. I get satisfaction from training them and seeing them develop into athletes and young men, carrying that confidence into adulthood.

I am currently an active Bronze Coach and Level 2 Official within Allegheny Mountain LBC, and regularly attend National Tournaments. I have attended USA Boxing clinics, actively assists fighters, coaches, and gyms with registration, procedural, and other issues, and have supported various shows within the LBC for many years with things such as marketing, promotion, and filling cards, to that of attending shows in a coaching and/or officiating capacity.
I addition, I sit on the board of Turnabout Boxing, have assisted multiple organizations with grants, the necessary paperwork and their required filings with both the State and Federal Government (e.g., IRS) to establish nonprofit status, and far more. I am also well versed with USA Boxing policies and procedures, have made policy change recommendations both within our LBC and other nonprofits to facilitate change, and more.
In mt lifetime I have been both self employed, owning several Cafe's, and served as, for example, the Int. Director of Operations and Corporate Oversight for Espresso Restorations, a 3PV for Starbucks. I helped head a team that revamped their global kiosk program for licensees such as Royal Ahold, and regularly interacted with executives within several major corporations.
Education:
I actively review USA Boxing policy and procedural information, review all emails, have attended High Performance Zoom calls, and readily share said information with members of our LBC and beyond. My undergrad major was Law and Society as PSU, where I spent 4 years.
Other Traits, qualities, and characteristics:
I clearly understand USA Boxing's mission and objectives, comprehend the needs of our LBC and the need of any organization to evolve in order that it might grow and thrive, and am deeply invested and married to Boxing. Not only do we operate a boxing gym, train boxers, host shows, and share the same struggles as other gyms, but I am also an official, as previously mentioned.
I am organized, matter of fact, objective and logical, a team player, an advocate for open communication, and want to see others succeed. I also feel comfortable in any situation, have excellent time management skills, am organized, motivated, make objective decisions that are uniform, am analytical, creative, and a natural fixer/problem solver.
