During his tenure, he advanced tax reform, job creation initiatives, and legislation aimed at increasing funding for both the city and the Philadelphia School District. He also spearheaded a civil service regulation requiring all new hires be current on city taxes, water bills, fines, and fees; a policy later extended to board and commission members appointed by the Mayor.
Prior to joining the city of Philadelphia, he served as Director of the Bureau of Compliance at the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, where he led several successful revenue collection initiatives. He also held the position of President and Managing Director of the Philadelphia Housing Authority Development Corporation, overseeing a $68 million budget.
