I have been interested in local history since I was young and I believe this is due in large part to being a third-generation “born and raised” old Milford resident. I grew up listening to the stories of my grandmother, who grew up in old Milford in the early 1900s, and I always loved walking around the village and imagining her stories come to life. I still love to imagine the stories of the past as I enjoy our now bustling little city.

Growing up in Milford, observing family and neighbors serving the community in various ways, instilled within me not only an interest, but a deep sense of responsibility to be an active member of my community. Both in preserving the past and looking to the future.

Previously, I have enjoyed spending my time with GMAHS helping with events at Promont, with Art Affaire, as a docent at Promont House, and in sharing Greater Milford’s history with the membership and community, at large. It is an honor and a privilege to now have the opportunity to serve the historical society, and greater Milford community, as a board member.

I am a retired CPA with over 50 years of financial and management experience. I have served on the boards of several not-for-profit organizations. I look forward to assisting the Greater Milford Area Historical Society.

My family moved to Milford when I was 12, and I was always fascinated by Promont, the Victorian house on the hill. I’m glad to now serve on the Greater Milford Area Historical Society board and help preserve and share Milford’s history.

By day, I do economic and customer analytics consulting. When I’m not working, I enjoy genealogy and am particularly interested in the everyday lives of the people who lived here before us.

George has lived in Milford, Ohio, since 1978. He began his career as a Clermont County Assistant Prosecutor in 1975. In 1980, he was elected Prosecuting Attorney and was reelected in 1984. In 1989, he entered private practice, until 2012, when he was elected Judge of the Clermont County Municipal Court, serving for four years. George reentered private practice in 2016, where he continues to practice law. He has held leadership roles in many community organizations and has received numerous awards and recognitions.

I grew up in a suburb of Cleveland, and moved to the Cincinnati area in 1983. After a decade or so in the neighborhoods around UC, and raising a family with my wife in Anderson Township over the next 25 years, we moved to the Milford area in 2020. My educational and work background is in human services, psychology and psychotherapy, and teaching in those fields.

My involvement in the Historical Society began with volunteer maintenance work at Promont Museum – a beautiful place with a fascinating history, that intrigued me from the first time I saw it. The maintenance work continues, but I have also become engaged in studying the history of the Society, learning about the collection and the archives, serving as a docent, and participating in the process of
revising and editing the Society’s book on Milford’s history, Bridge to the Past.

Board member since April 2025.

I was a speech-language pathologist who worked many years in schools, Board of Developmental Disabilities facilities, nursing homes, and more. Now that I am retired I am following some of my other interests including traveling and visiting many museums both large
and small. I am especially interested in small museums that document people’s everyday lives.

I’m looking forward to helping our community learn more about the Promont House. I’m alsointerested in encouraging our area young people to appreciate our local history. I have served on the board of the local American Heritage Girls and would like to involve our area youth
groups in history projects.

I am excited and proud to serve as a board member for the GMAHS and give back to a community who has given me so much. While I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, I am honored to consider Milford my adopted hometown. While serving on the Art Affaire committee this year I had more opportunities to explore and stand in awe of the beauty of Promont House. Learning more of the history of the people who lived there has been fascinating. Every time I enter I learn something new!

When I’m not working as a project coordinator with a marketing research firm or at community events, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Keith, and our two sons Aidan and Lliam. We love spending time with friends and family, traveling, going to concerts, visiting antique stores, and watching movies together. I have a passion for
diversity and believe that understanding history creates a stronger sense of belonging and purpose for all.

We also enjoy volunteering throughout the community at food pantries, participating in Special Olympics and cheering on our Milford Eagles! My goal as a board member is simple: to make history accessible, engaging, and inspiring for everyone.

A retired teacher with a 44-year career, I now supervise student teachers at the University of Cincinnati and Mount St. Joseph University. My passion has always been history. Growing up with a historian mother in New York, I shared in her excitement about local history. This passion has stayed with me throughout my life, and I absolutely love sharing the unique and wonderful history we have here in Milford.

I look forward to continuing the work of our Historical Society as we grow and support our community. If you’ve thought about becoming more involved in our organization, please know that your enthusiasm for our history will be welcomed and appreciated. I look forward to working with you!
