I appreciate your taking the time to visit this web page. By taking a closer look at the candidates for Village Trustee before you vote, you show your genuine concern for Dryden’s future – a concern I share with you.

Dryden has been my home since 1981. My wife, Carol, and I have raised our 5 children here. We believe Dryden is simply a beautiful place – even in winter!

As president of a small Ithaca-based business, as treasurer of a larger business organization with 9 CNY locations employing 36 people, and having served in leadership capacities with numerous civic and professional organizations, I believe that my experience as a problem solver and decision maker will complement the abilities of our current Village leadership as we face the challenges and opportunities of the next 2 years.
