    I originated, designed, populated and marketed FixAbingtonStreets.org (http://www.fixabingtonstreets.org) as a voice for the Edge Hill Tyson Reconstruction community. This reconstruction is the most delayed road construction project in the State of Pennsylvania.

    My goal is to help branch any divides between Abington Township and the State, supporting both Township Commissioners and PA State Representative Madeleine Dean, as well bringing awareness to the progress of the project to the many effected residents.

    Aside from the web site, I also built and maintain the Fix Abington Streets Facebook Page, designed lawn signs and walk door-to-door with fliers to further promote awareness.

    Summary:
    In the sleepy Philly suburb of Oreland, a Catholic schoolboy, Garvey Nolan, befriends locals and becomes smitten with his neighbor, Emma O’Sullivan. Amongst his peers, innocent pranks escalate. Garvey embraces vandalism and trespassing with reluctance, sacrificing morality for bonded friendships. The boys explore towns by bike and car, void of their parents, with the sole covenant of returning home for dinner. A nearby private golf course becomes the ultimate playground and hideout, a stage for mischief that blurs into malice.

    Meanwhile, an area plastics tycoon, philanthropist and golf pro, Kratz Kova, weaves a sinister presence through Garvey’s life. Kova’s dark intentions are revealed to Garvey and progress as he enters manhood. Influenced by the healing power of music, Garvey strives to end what he has become, at the risk of losing his brotherhood. He craves an escape from Oreland with Emma, far from the stranglehold of Kova. But can he truly break free?

    Taking place from 1978 through 1993, Be Home By Dinner explores a last generation of kids that grew up without ubiquitous internet access. Void of smart phones and streaming content, they existed without daily photo capturing and social media posturing, roaming free unbeknownst to their parents, with no app to track their footsteps.
