Mike is a lifelong resident of Woolwich Township, graduated from Kingsway, and chose to return here after attending Rutgers University to make Woolwich his permanent home. Mike takes pride in his hometown and has been honored to serve as Woolwich Township Committeeman for the last 3 years. As part of his committeeman role Mike is a liaison to both the environmental commission and the parks and recreation committee and enjoys volunteering in their many events. Communicating key information and updates to the Woolwich community is of the highest priority to Mike, as well as providing the best services available at the lowest possible cost. As Committeeman, Mike focuses on transparency of government, public safety and services, business development to stabilize taxes, road safety, and protecting our quality of life.
Mike was hired by a major biotech company first as a Field Service Engineer and ultimately as a leader of Field Applications Scientists where he supports a diverse group of customers ranging from hospitals, universities, and government agencies. Mike’s success in his professional career has been a function of paying careful attention to his customers and adapting to meet their needs. He employs the same formula for success in Woolwich by listening to and involving all community partners. Mike’s philosophy is that in business the customer comes first and in town the residents come first. He believes that within a community there is always common ground and that’s how he will help move Woolwich forward. With friends and family living in almost all of Woolwich’s many diverse neighborhoods, Mike will continue to help the town and support the needs of all its residents.
