WHO AM I?

From time to time I think about what Woodstock was like in the 80’s and 90’s and wonder what Woodstock was like in the 60’s and 70’s

I am running for Councilman on Woodstock’s Town Board in the upcoming (June 22) Democratic Primary

 I have lived in Woodstock for approximately 30 years

I am a member of the Democratic Party.

I was a volunteer on the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) for 15 years as a board member and Chairman. During my tenure along with initiating needed changes to the Zoning Law, it was the ZBA’s decisions that cleared the way for:

* The construction of the MUNICIPAL CELL TOWER that provides the Town’s cell service

*The HIGHWAY GARAGE and the KTD MONASTERY to be constructed

* The FARMERS MARKET to exist

* Home owners, especially with undersized lots , to be able to build storage sheds, garages or home additions 

I was the Chair of the First Responder Task Force that analyzed and made recommendations regarding policies and procedures 

I am a retired NYC Detective

I graduated from Stuyvesant High School in NYC and Brooklyn College

Transparency/facts/truth to me are not just words but rather requirements

It should not take forever to accomplish goals
