FOR BUCKINGHAM TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR
YOUR VOICE. OUR FUTURE.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Mike
Being born and raised about 45 minutes from Buckingham, when an opportunity presented itself for my family to return to Pennsylvania from Southern California, I knew this would be the ideal environment to raise my family and put down roots. I was familiar with the area, still have family here, and understand what makes our community special.
As an entrepreneur an Operations Manager of a small business that specializes in pet toys, I am able to work remotely and my wife, being a pastor, was recruited by an amazing congregation here. Our quality of life here is what we cherish the most. We first fell in love with the green space and rolling fields. Then we began to discover the local produce, dairy and goods that we could find at farms and small businesses. As a small business owner myself, I know the value and importance of supporting local businesses and industries.
Through my wife’s interview process we also got a feel of the amazing people here and with our move completed, we were welcomed with love and open arms. We have met so many fantastic people from all walks of life and have made fast friends throughout the community.
I take community participation very seriously as a value in my life. I have led the strongest activist group, No Buckingham Warehouse, Buckingham has seen in decades which has, so far, successfully prevented development of a massive distribution center in the heart of Buckingham and has preserved the safety and bucolic way of life for our neighbors. I have also taken a volunteer position as the Cold Spring Elementary HSA Co-President. Having been here for several years and observing our elected leadership’s strengths and weaknesses, I knew that several challenges we are facing could only be solved with new faces and a different leadership style.
Since we want Buckingham to be our “forever home” and our kids to grow up in a thriving community, I am committed to being a part of Buckingham’s leadership for a growing future generation. I love our community’s connectedness – we’re all invested in our shared success. With more and more people moving to Buckingham, we need to proactively plan for that growth while preserving the essence of what makes our township great. While our current leadership has stewarded our community to where we are today, it is time for a spirited contrast of visions and goals for our community. I don’t expect anybody to do work that I’m not willing to do myself, and I’m at a point in my life, business and community engagement to put my name forward as a candidate for Buckingham Township Supervisor.
