Personal
I am currently at work in a collaborative effort seeking to address issues of healthy practices for conscious living in the new millennium through The Institute For Responsible Wisdom. In my free time I devote my energies to my wife and two daughters Molly and Sabrina, studying, gardening and golfing. Thanks to my family I founded and am Co-Chair of The Learning Styles Committee, Ethical Culture Fieldston Lower School, and a proud recipient of theForced Bulb Competition Award.
