I am a life time resident of Monroe county located in upstate New York.  More specifically I live the town of Penfield, a suburb of the city of Rochester.   My wife, MJ and I have four grown children, two boys and two girls. Two live in Salt Lake City, one son is in Baltimore, MD. and one daughter lives in Lexington, KY.  I was a hang glider pilot and a member of the R.A.F., that’s the Rochester Area Flyers not the other RAF.  After a “bad” landing near Bristol Mountain, which led to an ambulance ride with an extended hospital visit, I decided to explore other shall we say more mundane activities.  I volunteered for twelve years as a EMT with Greece Volunteer Ambulance.  I am a member of “The Tuesday Night Gang”, a round robin model railroad club.  And in my limited free time, I am an avid gardener.  Each year the amount of lawn that I have shrinks as the gardens expand. The last revision consisted of a garden pond and waterfall. My neighbors keep asking me if I have something against grass, it’s not unusual to see my neighbors with their guest in tow touring the gardens.  I am a member of the Webster Chamber of Commerce, Penfield Chamber of Commerce, Grape {Greater Rochester Association in partnership for the Elderly}, BNI group called Premier Professionals, a loosely formed networking group known as Early Editions and a past member of the Penfield Loins club.

I have been working in real estate since 2001, after working in mechanical engineering and design for Eastman Kodak and Bergmann Associates for thirty plus years.
