Jeff is a lifelong resident of Middle River. He has 2 children, Jeff, 28, and Krystyn, 26, and is the proud grandfather of Jordan, 3 ½, Ashton, 2 ½ and Jeff, Jr., 1 month.
Jeff has always been passionate about improving the community. As a teenager, he served as a junior fireman for the Middle River Volunteer Fire Dept, and he was very active with Baltimore County Recreation and Parks, volunteering his time to coaching youth football, baseball, and basketball. As he got older, Jeff got more involved in politics, campaigning for candidates dedicated to improving our community. Jeff also worked many hours volunteering at the voting polls.
Now, as vice-president and as a member of the Bargaining Committee of UAW Local 239, Jeff works very hard at building the working relationship between Union and Management at the Allison Transmission plant in White Marsh. What makes Jeff so good at building relationships is his intelligence, sense of humour, ability to make people feel at ease, and ability to respect differing opinions. Jeff is proud that this relationship was a key consideration in General Motors’ recent decision to award a new product to the plant, resulting in the creation of approximately 200 new good-paying jobs for the community.
Besides having worked at GM since 1979, Jeff also has been a successful small business owner for 25 years. He understands the challenges that small business owners face on a day to day basis, such as the dramatic increase in unemployment costs.
In his “leisure time”, Jeff enjoys giving back to the community which has treated him so well for the past 50, or so, years. Frequently you will find Jeff volunteering his time and services at community functions and fundraisers, as well as other charitable causes. In fact, this is how many people first meet Jeff and get to know him.
As a lifelong resident, Jeff knows our District, what our needs are, and understands what it will take to realize our goals. He will work tirelessly to represent all the people of District 7, to improving our present conditions, and securing a better future for all us. Won’t you please support Jeff?
