Elected Councilman 2007

I was born and raised in Yonkers and have lived all my life in Westchester County. My wife and I live in Chapel Hill. I started as a union member, moved on to a global development business executive and finally on to independent entrepreneur. Recently retired, Im active as a church volunteer and in other non-profit programs providing a variety of community services. I'm one of the "Men Who've Cooked" in support of our Youth Bureau.

I am honored that the people of this City have chosen me, a newcomer to politics and a relatively recent arrival in Peekskill, to represent them at City Hall. In business I learned that fairness and integrity are the foundation stones of long-term success. Excellence in everyday process and a refusal to settle for the mediocre builds on that foundation. Teamwork is the mortar that holds everything together. My work for you as a Councilman will always be guided by these principles. My goal is to provide our citizens a great place to "Live and Work"together.

I want to work for you and also with you. If you have any suggestions or concerns, please don't hesitate to bring them to me.
