MY BACKGROUND
Born and raised in Orange County, I am one of ten siblings. After graduating high school, I attended SUNY Albany, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Information Science and Research with a minor in Business. Although I completed my college education, I chose to pursue a career in the trades and began the path to becoming a welder. I joined the unions in 2004 and, in 2010, was hired by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). Through civil service exams and hands-on experience, I worked my way up to the role of Crew Supervisor, where I led a wide range of roadwork and infrastructure projects. During the pandemic, I temporarily oversaw operations for the entire residency and coordinated the setup of the Anthony Wayne Testing Facility. In 2023, I had the honor of being elected to the Woodbury Town Council. Now, as I run for mayor, I bring with me the experience, dedication, and strong relationships I've built—ready to move our community forward.
My top issues
- Preserve our Quality of Life by maintaining services and upholding fiscal responsibility.
- Work across the aisle with Local, County and State representatives to acquire grants and funding for much needed projects in our community.
- Work to support and reinforce our Animal Shelter and Senior Center.
- Support small businesses and encourage new businesses to set roots in Woodbury.
- Properly fund our Police Department
- Establish Memorandum of Understanding with Woodbury Library.
My involvement
Since moving to Woodbury 9 years ago, my family and I have donated to multiple charities including the Food Pantry, multiple Scholarship drives and GoFundMe's. We have also co-created and I hosted the "Bang A Right" YouTube series, highlighting our local businesses during the pandemic. Our goal was to have shoppers from the Woodbury Commons "bang a right" out of the shopping center to induce commerce into our town. You can view the videos here:
