"Belong to be Strong"

My CSEA career began in 1981 as a shop steward while employed as a custodian for Longwood CSD and currently I am the Head Custodian at Coram Elementary.   Throughout my 29 years in Longwood, I remained a shop steward, became a grievance representative and Unit VP.  In 1995 I was elected as Local 870 VP and I assumed the position of President on July 16, 2007.

My involvement with CSEA grew over the years as I became a LUTI trainer and Negotiator.   I am an active committee member on many Local and Region Committees, such as the PAC Committee, Education and Training, School District and Health and Safety.  I have also served on the Longwood District Shared Decision Making Team, Budget Advisory and Health & Safety Committees for many years.  I continue to attend all CSEA workshops and activities to keep myself updated and informed of any new and exciting changes in CSEA.

On a personal note, I am a member of the Middle Island Fire Department Volunteer Service since 1979. 
I am married to a wonderful woman, AnnMarie, who works for Eastern Suffolk BOCES.  I have 2 wonderful stepchildren, Desire and Christopher.  Des is a high school counselor in Rochester NY and newly married.  Chris is in the USMC.  We ask you keep him in your prayers.   I also have a son, Jason, who lives in Virginia with his mother and a daughter, Kristin, married and lives in Conneticut.

As President of Local 870, I open my doors to all my unit members and fellow Officers in CSEA and welcome your comments, suggestions and visits.
