I grew up in Burnt Hills, NY and am a BH-BL Spartan graduate. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Political Science from Boston College. I have enjoyed a career as a Senior Executive in the consumables industry including 21 years at The Coca-Cola Company and 15 years at Revlon Incorporated (MacAndrews & Forbes). My work included postings in Upstate NY, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota, and New York City as well as extensive global travel. I now have a consulting business for the CPG industry. My wife, Jan, and I have lived in the Town of Saratoga for 18 years and are the parents of two young adults. I’m a life-long amateur bird watcher and a fervent devotee of efforts to preserve and protect nature, wildlife, and our environment.
