Dennis is a proud, long-time resident of Abington Township and Ardsley. Although he’s originally from Philadelphia, he has proudly called Abington home for the past 36 years! He attended Bishop McDevitt High School in Wyncote, and is retired after a successful career at SEPTA, where he was the Director of Maintenance and Construction.
Faith, family, and community have always been the center of Dennis’s life. He and his wife, Mary, are the proud parents of four children, and the loving grandparents of 7 grandchildren. He’s a devout, life-long Catholic, and is an active member of Queen of Peace Parish. He’s been a Eucharistic Minister at the parish for over 30 years, and currently is honored to serve the families and children of the parish by sitting on the board of Good Shepherd Catholic School.
Above all, service to our community here in Ardsley has been his life’s work. He’s the founder and president of the Ardsley Community Association, which has put on fun, exciting, and family-friendly events that bring Ardsley together throughout the year. He’s also served our community with numerous other community organizations, including the Ardsley Athletic Association, the Roslyn Boys and Girls Club, and the Second Alarmers, among others.
Finally, he’s proud to have served Ward 9 as its commissioner since 2000. He has been focused on representing, protecting, and advocating for our community as a leading voice in Abington Township’s Board of Commissioners, and hopes he has demonstrated his ability to think beyond party labels, state and national politics, and to always put our community first. He firmly believes in Ardsley and wants to earn your vote for another term as your commissioner.
