Developmental Disability Services:

Mike has committed himself to improving the lives of those in our community who experience these challenges. As a strong public advocate for the developmentally disabled, Mike is honored to serve on Hamilton County’s Developmental Disability Services Board. Mike continues to develop a deep knowledge of the legislative and regulatory needs of our DDS community.

As a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, Mike will fight to increase visibility for the needs facing this community and advocate for increased services to both the developmentally disabled and their caretakers.Education & Thriving Schools:

For 29 years, Mike has been an educator at St. Xavier High School - teaching Government, Economics, Modern World History, World Cultures, U.S. History, and American Civil War. Mike knows that in order to create safe, clean, and prosperous communities, we must start with promoting academic excellence.

​Mike currently serves as a board member of three public charter schools that serve our most disadvantaged youth in the local area. As a strong advocate for charter schools and school choice, Mike will always prioritize parental oversight in public education and ensure that our children are being taught the values that reflect our community.A Strong & Vibrant West Side

​The Westside has a vibrant history and culture. For generations, people have made our community their home. The Westside is a place where people raise their family, attend school and church, recreate, and where they work. This is the case for Mike and his wife Leslie, who have called Green Township their home for 34 years. Mike spent the bulk of his young years being raised in a large Green Township family. Leslie was raised in Cheviot and Green Township.

​But in order to do so, we need to ensure that our neighborhoods are safe. Like many of you, Mike wants our community to have a vibrant economy, where people choose to live and do business.
