Euromaidan comes to Parma:
“Parma is with the Ukrainians!” So said Parma Mayor Tim DeGeeter, who, on a cold, snowy day in December, enthusiastically offered words of inspiration and support at the most recent Euromaidan demonstration in Ohio’s seventh largest city and heart of the Cleveland area’s growing Ukrainian community. At Parma’s City Hall and Ukrainian Heritage Park in Ukrainian Village, hundreds have turned out for several organized demonstrations in a show of solidarity with the ongoing Euromaidan protests in Ukraine – a Texas-size country of 45 million located east of Poland and west of Russia in what some have referred to as the geographic center of Europe.

I’ve proudly called the Greater Cleveland area home for most of my life and have always appreciated the character, energy, and strong sense of community that make this region special. After serving five years in the U.S. Navy while stationed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, I returned to my hometown of Parma in 2009. In 2020, my wife and I made Strongsville our home, where we are now raising our four children.
Throughout the years, I have remained actively involved in neighborhood revitalization efforts and community-focused initiatives across Northeast Ohio. Combined with my legal studies at the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and graduate studies at the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs, these experiences have strengthened my commitment to creating meaningful, lasting improvements within the communities I serve.
I’m always grateful to work alongside dedicated residents, community leaders, and organizations who share a passion for positive progress. Together, we continue building a stronger community for current and future generations.
