I have been married to Michelle Reese for 20+ years. I have two children, Ava and Tristan, who both have attended Wadsworth City Schools. Ava is a Junior in Wadsworth and Tristan is now a Freshman at The University of Akron, studying business.
I have been a licensed real estate professional for 9 years and owner of a small business. I have also spent time employed at both the Akron Art Museum and Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens. I enjoy History and Government studies, and I have an Associate of the Arts degree and a bachelor’s degree in history along with a certificate in Museums and Archives from the University of Akron. I am also a member of Phi Alpha Theta, national historical honor society.
I volunteer my time often for various organizations including spending 6 years as a board member on the Wadsworth Area Chamber of Commerce. I have been on the promotions committee for Main Street Wadsworth for the last several years and was also their volunteer coordinator for some of that time. I have chaired the Library levy successfully. I am an organizer and volunteer coordinator for the Balloons over Wadsworth. I am currently serving on the board of directors for Northeast Ohio Dance. I believe it is very important that we give back to our community.
