I have been a resident of Sullivan County for the past 20 years. Focusing my professional path along the medical field and community engagement. I served the community as an EMT with Mobilemedic for 11 years. I also worked as an Emergency Room Technician for seven years. I have worked for Sun River Healthcare as a Medial Assistant for 7 years where I began to establish a path with community engagement serving the needs of the residents with our community. I then began to explore more community relation options by working with Cornerstone Family Healthcare where I went into communities inflicted with drug use and unhoused populations and provided them with needed support and care. I became the Supervisor for the organization’s MAT program serving Sullivan and Orange Counties. As an organization we served the community with prevention education and counseling towards better health and well-being strategies. I volunteer my time with Community Actions of Sullivan County where we provide community members with monthly pantry.

I have been married for 30 years and the proud father of two men, who have graduated from SUNY Sullivan and now serve the community in which they were raised, following the same path their parents have journeyed. I am also proud to be the grandfather of a wonderful little boy and a precious baby girl I call my little princess.

I love my community and will advocate for anyone in need. I look forward to putting a smile in anyone’s face and bring some type of peace and relief to those seeking kindness.
