About

I 'm from Olean, NY where I attended Archbishop Walsh High School. I have degrees from Saint Bonaventure University (BA, History)as well as American International College (M. Ed.) and am presently in the Center for Public Policy and Administration's MPPA program at the University of Massachusetts. I originally moved to the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts to attend graduate school and, as with many folks, never left the area.

I had the pleasure of serving as a member of the Board of Selectmen in the Town of Belchertown and as a member of its finance committee. I also represented the community as a Hampshire County Commissioner. The Hampshire Council of Governments is the successor organization to the county commission. Recognizing the need for quality child care, I was one of the founders of the Belchertown Day School which has been in existence for over 25 years.

In addition to photography, which has its own section, I enjoy the outdoors, am a decent cook, avid reader, sometime fly-fisher and internet junkie. I live in Amherst and share life with Jeanne Weinraub. I'm proud to be a founding member of the Pioneer Valley Photographic Artists and affiliated with the Valley Photo Center.
