My background
Born and raised in Orange County, I am one of 10 siblings. After high school, I attended SUNY Albany and received a bachelor's degree in Information Science and Research with a Minor in Business. However, after finishing college I opted for the trades and began the journey of becoming a welder. I entered into the Unions in 2004. In 2010, I was hired by the NYSDOT. Taking civil service exams and learning the trades eventually brought me to a Crew Supervisor position where I helped repair in a multitude of road work. I briefly operated the residency as a whole during the pandemic while coordinating efforts to set up the Anthony Wayne Testing Facility.
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:
