He is viewed as a person whose passion is only matched by his intellect and his intellect is realized through the diligence that he commits to every task. Those in his community have defined him as a visionary whose mission it is to propel his community to greater heights by increasing the opportunities available. He has a unique way of galvanizing those around him to identify cause and effect, develop responsible and tangible plans, and convert his vision to a reality that is shaped and embraced by all those involved in the process. The Center Moriches Community is very fortunate to have a Board of Education member that possesses the intellect, passion, and tactful tenacity needed to advocate for its children. We are honored to see his efforts recognized by Stony Brook University.
