He is a 1961 graduate of Annville-Cleona High School. He earned a degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1965, an M.S. from University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1967, and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University in 1970.
He was first elected as a Democrat to represent the 101st legislative district in 1990 and joined the Republican party in December 1993. He became known for his expertise in education.
