I am a guy who was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. There I helped to get Republicans elected. In a town that is 5 to 1 Democrat, that is no easy task. Yet, on many occasions I was successful at it. Over time I have migrated to New Jersey.

Here too, getting a Republican elected can be an uphill battle but as a former campaign manager for the New Jersey Republican Assembly and Senate Republican campaign committees I successfully helped to elect red candidates in a dark blue state.

In between managing and consulting campaigns, I have been the chief of staff to legislators in the New York State Senate and the New Jersey State Assembly, served as the regional director for the New York State Assembly Minority Leader and served in elected and appointed republican party positions in both New York and New Jersey.

My life revolves around politics. Not the game of it but the policy and sincerity of public service that is often overlooked in politics.
I feel this way because I love my country. It truly is the greatest nation on the face of the earth and we must all begin to pay more attention to that which we leave up to a handful of people in Washington, D.C. to do for us.

Health considerations have held back my political activity over the last year but better days are ahead.

When not involved in politics, I spend my time with my partner Nick. He is a DJ and artist…..a starving artist, with talents that far exceed the deserving financial profit that any mere mortal could possibly make.

Nick is also the most generous, considerate and at times dizzying guy that one could ever know. I often take him for granted but I also know that my life would be empty without him.

In general I am no one special. I am a person who owes a great deal to others. Like my parents, two of the hardest working and most loyal, dedicated and caring parents that a son could have. They have sacrificed much of their own lives for mine and I only hope that someday I will make something of the life they have given to me and repay them for all the love they invested in me.
