“Bradford has all of the ingredients available to make a great success story - warm and friendly residents, strategic location for businesses, affordable cost of living, numerous leisure and recreational opportunities, plentiful natural resources, top-notch higher educational facilities and an educated workforce with a great work ethic,” he said. “I look forward to the opportunity of utilizing my experiences to help the city capitalize on these assets and to make Bradford a better place to live, work and play.”

Pecora is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, where he earned a bachelor of arts degree in business and economics.

He is currently a member of St. Bernard Church, the Kiwanis Club, Tuna Valley Trail Association, LaStella Lodge, Bradford Landmark Society, Bradford Lodge #749 F&AM and the National Rifle Association. Pecora is a son of the late Alfredo and Beverly Pecora.

Previously, he was a member of the board of the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce from 2002-2009 and was president of the board from 2007-2008. He was also on the board of directors of the Downtown Bradford Revitalization Corp. for a one-year term in 2009.
