As a Certified Public Accountant and a Chief Financial Officer, the skill set I bring to the Board of Finance is critically needed. I will interact with the town’s administration and Chief Financial Officer on a regular basis and will act as a sounding board and share best practices, in addition to monitoring the annual operating budget and long term capital projects.

I have over 30+ years of experience working in a financial capacity as an auditor testing the financial controls of Fortune 100 companies, as a consultant to small and large companies looking for ways to modernize their systems, and as the trusted and loyal right-hand Chief Financial Officer to some of the best Chief Executive Officers. In all of these capacities, I have worked tirelessly to help grow businesses and maintain costs, and can do the same for the Town of Fairfield.

As a member of the Board of Finance, I will bring unbiased, objective financial analysis, and promote responsible fiscal governance, in order to:
·    Uphold our AAA credit rating
·    Preserve tax relief for seniors
·    Commit to smart investments in Education

I am thankful that my parents chose to live in Fairfield and that I have been fortunate to live and raise my family in this special town. If trusted with your vote, I promise to do my best to continue to improve Fairfield, and keep it affordable for generations to come.
