My wife, Liz , and I have been married for 38 years and have been proud residents of Broadlands for more than 17 years. We have three children (two of which attended Loudoun County Public Schools) and four grandchildren.

Growing up in Baldwin, Long Island, I was an all-county football player and went on to pursue higher education at the US Naval Academy (Class of 1985). I served in the Navy, owned my own financial planning business, managed many people in the financial field and have years of experience in bureaucratic organizations. Currently I am a successful Certified Financial Planner® who values the profound impact of a strong merit-based education on achieving positive life outcomes.
