Who am I?
I have lived in Chappaqua for 24 years. All three of my children have attended Grafflin and Bell -my two boys are Greeley graduates (Class of 2016 & 2018), and my daughter just started her Senior year.
I have been very active in youth sports throughout and served on the Board and then as President of the New Castle Baseball and Softball Association. I also served for two years on the New Castle Town Board’s Mandate Relief Committee.
My wife Cathy is very active on a number of fronts as well, including chairing multiple school environmental committees, as a trustee for the New Castle Historical Society and as a long-time board member for the Horace Greeley Scholarship fund.
Outside of Town, we both volunteer as mentors for Campus Bound Scholars, helping first generation college kids navigate the process, and are a serial dog foster family.
