Ukrainian Village Highlighted in Cleveland Magazine’s ‘Rating the Suburbs’ Feature

Signature Event: Within sight of the majestic golden domes of St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, Parma holds its annual Ukrainian Independence Day Parade and Festivities every August. Celebrating the 1991 establishment of Ukraine’s sovereign state, this revelry shows off elaborately decorated floats decked out in the traditional colors of blue and gold, a lineup of vintage and classic cars driving down State Road and a full array of treats such as chocolate babka and paczki.

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.
