The best advice I've ever been given is to be firm, fair, and consistent. In life and work, I’m here to make sure things are done right, with purpose, passion, and integrity. I approach each day with an open mind and a readiness to learn—never settling, always looking to see things in a new light. I’m constantly expanding my perspectives.

My career has spanned high-stakes environments—from the leader of a law enforcement response team and anti-terrorism trainer, to managing security and defense projects on a global scale. I know the importance of remaining calm, precise, and focused, especially when the stakes are high

As a developmental disabilities counselor, I learned the value of connection, empathy, patience, and meaningful messaging. As a custom-home designer, I’ve honed my eye for both structure and creativity, always seeking to bring order with an artful touch.

Outside of work, I'm a father, grandfather, lifelong learner, a huge sports fan (go Yankees and Steelers), and an explorer of the arts—from museums to Broadway, and even the opera (La Bohem is a favorite). Music shapes my days and reflects my philosophy: each note, genre, and rhythm has its place, adding richness and depth to the bigger picture.

In every role I take on, I’m driven by the belief that doing things right—personally and professionally—means being there for others when they need it most, with consistency, honesty, and intention. I work quietly, but with purpose - aiming to inspire confidence and trust in those I meet. For me, it’s not about making the loudest noise; it’s about unassumigly making the biggest difference.
