The Full Story
Biography
Milking the cows at 4am on my family’s farm before going to school in Upstate New York, was one of my many chores that taught me the value of vigorous labor. Today, I’m the Managing Partner of a multi-site orthopedic practice and it’s the legacy of my parents’ work ethics that drives me to teach my own children, grow my practice, volunteer in my community and serve my country.
I served as a Major in the US Army and did my best to save the lives of those wounded men and women who ended up on the operating table in Kuwait and Iraq. Since I’ve been back at home, I mentor the youth in the Bergen County Academies and give lectures to the public on the crisis of opioid abuse. I sit on several committees at Valley Hospital so that the best options and results can be experienced by everyone who is in need. Alongside, I am a Municipal Chair of the Saddle River GOP and a member of the Planning Board. All the while, I lead my teams of doctors, practitioners and staff so that we may give optimal care to our patients.
However, the highlight of my involvement and accomplishments is in my wife and three children. They inspire me to give them better, but I’m limited when fiscally irresponsible politicians are killing the American dream. I am running for Bergen County Commissioner because it’s time we stop using tax increases as a bandage for incompetent governance. I want to make Bergen County an affordable place where grandparents can retire in the same home they raised their children and a place where Bergen County fits a person’s desires to live, work and play.
