I’m a father, partner, web developer by profession, gardener by hobby, and community organizer by passion. I love living in Danby for its natural beauty, wide-open spaces, and proximity to the culture of Ithaca.
As a senior manager and web developer at a nonprofit, I’ve become a certified project manager, skilled at managing complex projects within budget and deadlines.
Volunteering with No Mas Lagrimas has shown me the critical role community groups and local government partners play in addressing our neighbors' needs and enhancing quality of life.
At White Hawk Ecovillage, I’ve learned the importance and challenges of building consensus across differing perspectives to work towards common goals.
Serving as Tracy Mitrano’s campaign manager allowed me to connect with people from across the region, understanding their priorities and frustrations with our dysfunctional federal government.
While I am asking for your vote, I believe community involvement should extend beyond the ballot. When tough issues arise, like noise conflicts, I hope to lead the board in gathering input from all viewpoints. When people feel that confrontation is the only way for their voices to be heard, it signals a breakdown in the process — we can do better in Danby.
