Who I am

I'm a lifelong resident of Rockland county. My father served in the Pearl River volunteer fire department for over 65 years. My brother is a retired NYPD Lieutenant and a volunteer fireman in Hillcrest. My sister is a kidney specialist and a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army. I'm an alumnus of the 2016 class of Leadership Rockland. Public service is seemingly in our DNA.

In 2003 I established Eyevolution Optique on South Franklin Street in Nyack as a community-oriented, kid-friendly optometric practice. I made countless friendships over seventeen years fitting many of the children in the district with their first pair of glasses or contact lenses.

My wife and I have been active supporters of ArtsROCK, the Center for Safety and Change, the Nyack Center, and the Rockland PRIDE Center. We served as foster parents within the county and have at one time or another had a child in our care in each of the elementary schools in the district. Our daughter is presently enrolled in Upper Nyack Elementary.
