Other facts

I live in Bedford Village with my wife Julie and my two children, Jacob (a grad student at the University of Vermont) and Emily (a sophomore at Johns Hopkins). I currently serve the community as (a) Chairman of the Bedford Zoning Board of Appeals, (b) President of the Bedford Village Fire Department, where I also serve as a firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician, and (c) Vice Chair of the County Charter Revision Commission, which is tasked with revamping County government to make it less costly and more responsive to the needs of the people. I am an attorney in White Plains, and previously served as Mount Kisco's Village Attorney and as a member of the Mount Kisco Board of Ethics. As a father of two children who were educated from Kindergarten through 12th Grade in the Bedford Central schools, I understand the concerns of parents with children in our community. As Town Justice, I will make sure that everyone who appears before the Court is treated fairly and with respect.
