I attended John Jay High School. I served in the US Army and was stationed in Korea with an engineering group near Seoul. After my discharge I received my BS in 1974 and eventually an MBA in Finance from LIU in 1986. I then went to work for B.F. Goodrich as an internal auditor for six years before settling in the healthcare field in my current position as director of internal audit for the National Benefit and Pension Funds for Health and Human Service Employees. I enjoy the outdoors, adventure travel, the arts and have done volunteer work for a number of organizations including the International Center In New York.
