Who Am I?

I was born and raised in Red Bank, NJ. I graduated from Red Bank Regional High School and obtained my BS and BA from Rutgers University. I earned my MBA from Seton Hall University. I have worked for 20+ years in various finance, accounting and project management positions. I am currently employed as a Business Manager for IEEE, a technical association. I was elected to the Red Bank Borough Board of Education in 2003 and resigned in 2008 when I was elected to Borough Council.

Why Am I Running?

One term is just simply not enough. My re-election will allow me to use the knowledge that I have obtained and expand upon it to continue the focused and effective efforts for improvements. I want to continue the efficient growth and development of our town using technology and smart planning while balancing the importance of quality of life for our citizens.

Hold Me Accountable!

Economic stimulus-Red Bank must continue to be New Jersey Shore "destination". Our Downtown must remain viable and vibrant. We currently have a Community Vision Committee that is tasked with tying the community and the business district together into "One Red Bank".

Taxes-alternate revenue opportunities and green technologies need further exploration. We must take advantage of any cost saving initiatives that are available.

Education-government must stand in support of our children. The collaboration of organizations allows for greater opportunities for our children to grow, learn and flourish. They are the future of our country and every effort must be made to provide the highest level of educational excellence.

My DFA values:

Currently working with the Party and its members on an initiative to generate more enthusiasm and grass roots involvement across the county. I am one of 35 members of an initiative to develop, educate, and motivate Democrats to engage in the political process at all levels.

My Campaign is People-Powered!

My running mate, Ed Zipprich and I have a field plan that enlists community partnerships to implement. We will be garnering support from Monmouth DFA and collaborating with other Democratic and Progressive Candidates through Monmouth County. The "team" approach will allow us to leverage the strengths of the collective Democratic team to provide a strong and intense message that will resonate with voters this November. We have outlined a finance plan that will allow for our message to be delivered and repeated to our constituents. We will enlist GOTV and "Vote by Mail" to ensure that we obtain the maximum voter exposure.
