History 

I grew up in Albany, NY, and am the product of excellent public schools.  After receiving my undergraduate degree in mathematics at Lafayette, I obtained a masters in business administration from the University of Arizona.  I’ve spent my career in higher education and technology.  As an entrepreneur, I founded a higher education predictive analytics company that I later sold to a large software company.  Currently, I am engaged at Arizona State University as the Executive Director of Data & Analysis.

Family

My wife, Jessica, and I feel fortunate to have made the decision to purchase our first family home in Scottsdale 24 years ago.  Scottsdale has been a wonderful place to raise our twin girls.  Attending Cochise Elementary, Cocopah Middle School and Chaparral High School, both our girls worked hard to achieve merit-driven scholarships that can be attributed to the excelling programs, dedicated staff, and unique opportunities offered in SUSD.  Our family is grateful to have had the foresight to invest in Scottsdale and its schools over 24 years ago.  

Service

Even after my own children have flown the nest, I continue to help guide and influence SUSD students via robotics and engineering.  For 8 years and counting, I have taken pride in mentoring future STEM careers on the Chaparral High School robotics team.  Additionally, I was honored to serve on the board of my synagogue, Congregation Or Tzion for 5 years.
