I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I am Brooklyn centric, spending 54 years of my life in Brooklyn. I was a teacher and guidance counselor for 36 years in East New York Brooklyn. I have enjoyed white water rafting, fishing, tennis, pickleball, travel, reading, wine making and spending quality time with my family. I have been active in my local community affairs and have, along with my wife of 55 years, been active in the community advocating on behalf of Israel. I have two married children and I am the proud grandfather of four. I have lived in Brooklyn and Queens, NY Plainview, LI, Herzliya, Israel, and currently reside in Scottsdale, Arizona.
