I moved here to Bellalago 5 years ago after an extensive search for the just right community to move to. I moved from upstate New York in the mountains outside of Albany where I lived in a log Cabin which I had built and served as General Contractor.

After high school I attended a New York state 2-year college studying pre-engineering, blueprint drawing and reading.

I had a 38-year Career working for the New York State Dept. of Tax & Finance. Starting in Sales Tax processing and eventually landing in the income Tax processing Bureau testing income tax returns processing Computer programs then on to law interpretation and new forms and instruction development then to problem resolution in any aspect of New York State and City of New York income Tax Processing.

Finally, being promoted to Sr. Project Manager of the income tax processing bureau. This included a 2-year project to completely overhaul the State and City Income Tax Processing systems. I was Integral in assembling the teams to accomplish these high-level goals.

Since living in Bellalago I have volunteered on the Landscape Committee for the past 14 months. I thoroughly enjoyed this volunteer service and learned a lot about the landscaping, irrigation and infrastructure of the community. It taught me a lot about how to properly run and oversee a community this size.

It would be a privilege to sit on the board being elected by the community homeowners to serve them. My ability to think with an open mind while considering all ideas and possibilities as issues come up. To have an analytical approach to issues, to fully research and think out any problem or issues the board must deal with. A board member must also put his or her ego aside for the betterment of the community.
