He is retired from the Anne Arundel County Fire Department where he served as a Firefighter, EMT, MFRI Instructor, Driver/Operator and Lieutenant.  He is also the former owner of a small landscaping business in Dorchester County.  Council Member Pfeffer is a Life Member and past President of the Secretary Volunteer Fire Company, past President of the Dorchester County Volunteer Firemen’s Association, member of the Sons of American Legion Post 243, Red Cross Volunteer, Founding Member of the Dorchester Critical Incident Stress Management Team, Character Counts Coach at Warwick Elementary School and Trustee at the First United Methodist Church in Secretary.

The Board vacancy opened due to the passing of former Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver. MACo’s sitting Board of Directors voted to confirm the recommendation of Council Member Pfeffer by MACo’s Nominating Committee.

The Maryland Association of Counties annually elects a Board, of county elected officials, who help guide and govern the Association’s activities, relationships, and operations. The sixteen member Board works with the MACo staff to ensure the proper working of the Association, its budget, and operating activities.
