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.
