About John
I have over 25 years of law enforcement experience. Starting my career with the NYDOC, as a corrections officer and working within the town for the past 22 years. It has been my honor to serve the citizens of this town each and every day. I have been involved in many projects within the department and have been assigned to several specialty units from field training, SWAT and Crisis Intervention Training. I have supervised all shifts of patrol and was chosen to work with the FBI - SAFE STREETS TASK FORCE. While working with the FBI I undertook undercover investigations, public corruption cases and worked with the United States District Attorney’s office in WNY. Currently, I am an administrative sergeant assigned to the management and records department. Overseeing police reports, body camera video and Discovery records. I also assist at the Erie County Training Academy teaching recruits in mental health, critical incidents and officer involved shootings. I have received numerous awards and commendations over my career.
Prior to pursuing my law enforcement career, I joined the U- Crest Fire Company, volunteering for 7 years. I am currently an exempt member of this organization. All three of my children attended catholic school and my two oldest have graduated and are currently studying fields of nursing and law. Both have chosen to serve the public in their future careers. My wife of 23 years works as an administrative assistant for a construction company.
It is my goal to continue to serve the town residents in the capacity of Town Justice. Through my 25 years in law enforcement, I have established a good working relationship with the court system. I believe in accountability, justice as well as law and order. The position of Town Justice should carry high integrity, fairness, and the utmost moral character. All of these I possess.
