District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer is the proud son of a union family who’s lived his American

Dream in Delaware County.

Jack’s mother Henrietta was born in Soviet Ukraine. As a young girl, she was imprisoned in a

Nazi slave labor camp, and, upon being liberated, survived homelessness with her family on the

streets of a war-ravaged Europe. In 1951 Henrietta and her family immigrated to America,

arriving in the City of Chester to begin their new lives as free people.

Jack’s father Fred dropped out of Upper Darby High School at 17 to join the U.S. Army during

the Korean War. After proudly serving his country, he raised his family into the middle class

through his hard work as a SEPTA driver.

Inspired by his parents’ pursuit of the American Dream, Jack worked his way through college,

graduating at age thirty-four by completing his course work at night and on weekends.

In 2000, Jack graduated from Temple University’s Beasley School of Law, passed the bar, and

was appointed as an Assistant District Attorney prosecuting cases in juvenile and adult criminal

courts in Delaware County.

In 2001, Jack was recruited to join the U.S. Department of Justice as the policy analyst and

Special Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) gun violence

reduction initiative in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In 2004 Jack became an Assistant

United States Attorney and led a gun violence task force targeting the “Badlands” of North

Central Philadelphia. Jack had the distinction of earning a 100% conviction rate during his years

as a federal prosecutor.

In 2006, Governor Ed Rendell appointed Jack as Pennsylvania’s Safe Schools Advocate for the

Philadelphia School District. In this unique watchdog role, Jack established a reputation for

independence and integrity by publicly reporting the School District’s systemic failure to

properly report violent crimes.

In 2017, Jack was appointed Deputy State Treasurer and lead the effort to successfully establish

the PA ABLE savings program for people with disabilities and the Keystone Scholars grant

program, to give every child born or adopted in Pennsylvania a brighter future by seeding 529

savings accounts to encourage all children to achieve their dreams through higher education and

career training.

In November of 2019, Jack was elected as Delaware County 33 rd District Attorney. As DA he

formed the community based Partnership for Safe Neighborhoods to address gun violence in the

City of Chester; established a countywide Child Abuse & Exploitation task force to protect

children; and has stood up for workers by bringing the first successful criminal prosecution in

Pennsylvania under the Commonwealth’s Construction Workplace Misclassification Act.

Prior to her appointment as Chief Deputy of the new Fair Labor Section of the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, Nancy focused her private practice on representing working men and women and the unions that represented them for the last 25 years throughout the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, in federal and state courts, before administrative agencies, in arbitration and mediation proceedings, and during contract negotiations. She is licensed to practice before state and federal courts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and State of New York, is a Fellow of The College of Labor and Employment Lawyers, has extensively written and spoken on labor and employment issues for national labor, employment and bar organizations, was faculty for the American Arbitration Association for many years, was recognized as a Distinguished Advocate by the Support Center for Child Advocates and is an editor for the labor treatise, The Developing Labor Law. Nancy is particularly proud of her representation of local unions of the American Postal Workers Union during the 2001 anthrax crisis, when she sought emergency injunctive relief and was able to ensure that certain postal facilities in New Jersey were safe for employees.

When Attorney General Josh Shapiro took office in January 2017, he appointed Nancy as the newly created Fair Labor Section’s first Chief Deputy Attorney General. In the years since its inception, the Fair Labor Section has grown to include four Deputy Attorneys General.

Over the last four years, Nancy has led the Section in advocating on behalf of workers and law-abiding employers across Pennsylvania to ensure they are being treated fairly and lawfully. The Section’s work includes responding to complaints that allege a multitude of labor violations and unemployment issues; working with employers to ensure safe workplaces; regularly engaging with stakeholders; and otherwise responding to all variety of matters involving workers across the state. Under her leadership, the Section had lead multistate investigations—such as ensuring employers are providing sufficient PPE—and also litigated matters of national importance, including a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Department of Labor’s proposed amendments to the joint employer rule. This year, the Office of Attorney General also filed the first criminal charges stemming from a contractor’s failure to pay required wages and benefits.

In 2007, at the age of 26, Mike Stillwell resigned from his career as a foreman to pursue his aspirations to create a thriving construction & development company. He had a vision to simplify the process for residential construction in urban neighborhoods. While beginning contracting work in Point Breeze, he crossed paths with another young entrepreneur who had a similar vision as himself, Sean Schellenger. Their instant bond, trust, and shared business goals quickly blossomed into a partnership. In 2008, at the height of the recession, the Streamline brand was created. Mike, self-driven, competitive, & opportunistic, took the lead on creating efficient workflow processes & procedures for the development & construction side of the business, setting the duo up for future rapid growth. In 2010, the 1st Streamline office was opened on Washington Ave. The company began as a General Contractor for the 1st years. Mike learned the obstacles & opportunities that came with urban development. He realized that in order to become a leading company & stay at the forefront of their industry, continuous utilization of technology was going to be crucial. In 2011, Streamline invested in Salesforce to begin building out their project management and CRM procedures.

Streamline received the 1st company awards: Philadelphia 100, PBJ’s Fastest Growing Companies, and SmartCEO circle of excellence, in 2013. That following year, Streamline began construction on their first condominium development as the developer. Mike was now leading 10 employees between development, construction, & accounting. In 2015, Streamline partnered with an investor group to receive their first fund & was now an urban residential developer– a huge accomplishment and milestone in the company’s history. Mike was now COO, focused on making the teams vision to become the leading urban developer, happen. At this time the company had grown to 16 employees with a revenue of $7.9MM & continued to put significant investments into technology to support the vision. Custom systems were developed to identify hundreds of off-market opportunities for acquisitions, in a short period of time, daily. Standard operating procedures, scripts, and training were established to truly set Streamline apart from the competition in how the company data mines & acquires off-market lots.

Over the next 2 years, Mike led the operations with a focus on the customer experience. A 2nd office opened in Feb 2018 for a sales team. Mike managed a team to establish new positions to enhance the consumer experience, giving the client an expert to walk them through the process, every step of the way. One of the biggest differentiators for the company is the use of Virtual Reality. Urban development does not have the luxury of hosting a Model Home to sell homes during pre-construction. Mike & Sean put significant time and dollars into building out a new experience for the consumer to be able to visualize their home in a virtual realm before it’s built, preparing to launch The Streamline Experience in the beginning of 2019.

Tragically, on July 12, 2018, Mike’s business partner, Sean Schellenger, was murdered in Rittenhouse Square. To say the loss of Sean was absolutely devastating for Mike is an understatement. The partners had worked together every day for the past 10 years to build what was now a thriving company in Philly. Overnight, the company was now on Mike’s shoulders.

To ensure stabilization for the company’s lenders, investors, & employees, Mike put together a Strategic Planning team with an advisory board to set a clear path for the next 3 years of the company. He had key members on the board such as the CFO of Toll Brothers & a retired CEO from the biopharmaceutical industry.

Despite the emotions that came with the unexpected loss of his business partner, Mike powerfully began to make the shift into the role of CEO for his company. He spent the next 3 months working feverishly with his leadership team & advisors to create an in-depth action plan, to ensure the vision and goals of Streamline stayed on course.

In 2019, his company delivered nearly 200 homes within Philadelphia, a revenue of $45MM and 70 employees. The company placed #11 in the 2018 Philadelphia 100, & launched their Virtual Reality technology into the Sales Office to complete 2018. Today, the company has begun their expansion to an additional urban market, Chicago.
