Get To Know

Accomplishment:
In a white Jeep Compass on the streets of Bellefonte, taught my daughter, Catherine, to drive. She passed her test on the first try.

In baseball:
I bat right, throw right, usually play third base.

My dog:
An escape-artist Siberian husky named Koda who sheds all year long.

Fun family pastime:
Weekly wing and movie nights with my son, Aiden. We’re partial to goofy comedies like Spaceballs and Airplane.

Getting outdoors:
My wife, Shari, and I enjoy fishing from our kayak but rarely catch anything.

More than a job, it’s personal:
In her final years, my mom lived in a senior community, so I’ve seen firsthand how good design benefits residents and staff.
