I have had the honor and privilege of serving the residents of Guilderland for nearly ten (10) years; initially as an Assistant Town Attorney with the Town Planning Board and, more recently, as a Member of the Town Board since 2006.
Throughout my past decade of public service and my more than twenty (20) years of residency in the Town of Guilderland, I have recognized and appreciated both the diverse and unique attributes of Guilderland and those who reside here.
Guilderland is blessed and its greatest resource is its residents. As a Member of the Town Board, I have worked hard to preserve and to promote the quality of life for all Guilderland residents by:
- Advancing sound fiscal, planning and zoning principles
- Promoting greater recreational opportunities for our residents at the Town's Western Turnpike Golf course, DiCaprio Park and Tawasentha Park
- Committing to responsible, controlled growth as set forth in the recommendations and guidelines of the Town Comprehensive Plan, as I did during the Glassworks Village "smart growth" project
- Recognizing and improving public safety issues
- Supporting a policy of fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget
- Working to maintain and improve the highest level of municipal services
- Listening and responding to the concerns of all Guilderland residents
I very much look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve the residents and pledge to faithfully uphold my oath of office as a Member of the Guilderland Town Board. My experience, qualifications and values will continue to guide me to effectively serve the residents of Guilderland.
Thank you for your continued support.
