I was a member of organizations that are the heart of the community: school PTO’s, Council of Darien School Parents, The Darien Technology Foundation, the Darien Nature Center, and the Republican Town Committee, to name a few. I was chairman of many of these, as well as the leader of the Political Action Committee to rebuild our five elementary schools.

It was always my goal to lead by building consensus. I sought to bring diverse ideas together to make a new whole: one with integrity, respect and substance. It is this commitment to working collaboratively with people, boards and commissions that inspires me to run for First Selectman. In addition to knowing the town and the political system, I bring business and management experience to the Board of Selectmen. I will actually accomplish things that have been elusive, with fiscal responsibility. We can run this town as efficiently as we run our homes and businesses, while supporting the volunteers that make Darien unique.
