Biography

I was elected to council in November of 1993, and currently serving in my 4th term. A life long resident of 41 years, I graduated from Linden High School in 1979. I worked as a Communications Consultant for Prudential Insurance Company of America for 13 years in their Telecommunications and Information Systems division. I am currently employed for the County of Union as a Programmer in the Data Processing Department.

I have been married to my wife, Danie, for 12 years and I'm the father of five children, Erika, Brianna, Ryan, Ashton, and Abigail.

During my tenure on Council I have served on the following committee’s: Accident Review, Affordable Housing and Redevelopment, Central Dispatch 911, Clean Communities, Engineering, Fire, liaison to the Board of Health, liaison to the Mayor’s Youth Commission, Shade Tree Commission, Linden Landfill, Public Works, Real Estate and Cable, Recreation-Building & Grounds, Revenue Enhancement, Transportation and Parking, Weights & Measures – Licenses & Permits. I have also served as the City Council representative on the Planning Board.

I have personally registered over 1500 voters residents city wide with over 1200 of them living in the 4th Ward. I am very civic minded and live by the premise that there is no exercise better for the heart than reaching out and lifting people up.
