He lives in Manhattan with his wife, daughter, and dog, and enjoys visiting family in Connecticut and the Finger Lakes.

He’s active in community causes including mentorship, autism awareness, and veterans’ housing.
What do you feel is a strength that you have?
One of my strengths is connecting with people in a genuine and transparent way. I enjoy finding common ground and building meaningful relationships, cutting through the noise to help move things forward with clarity and purpose.
How do you do good in your community?
For me, doing good in the community starts with everyday actions. At home, we’re focused on raising our daughter to be kind, empathetic, and to speak up for others when something’s wrong—values we hope she carries into the world to help make it better. I’ve been involved in mentorship and community initiatives, including work with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and the American Red Cross, and continue to support causes like autism awareness, housing for military veterans and men’s mental health advocacy.
When you retire you’re going to…?
I hope to be like Bruce Springsteen or the Rolling Stones—having so much fun doing what I love that I won’t want to retire!
Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?
I grew up in a small town in upstate New York and now live in Manhattan. I never thought I’d start a family and build a life in “The City,” but after more than a decade here, I genuinely love it. I’m still waiting to celebrate a ticker tape parade in the Canyon of Heroes for one of my favorite teams, but I remain optimistic!
