I was born on October 29, 1959 in Rockville Centre, NY (on Long Island). My wife, Lisa, and I moved to Naples, FL in August of 2021. We have three children. Mark is 37 years old and lives in North Carolina. Alexander is 28 years old and lives in Manhattan, NY. And our daughter, Emma is 26 years old and lives in Philadelphia, PA. I hold an undergraduate degree in accounting from a small private college on Long Island, named Dowling College. I am a CPA with my master’s degree in taxation. I have owned my accounting practice for 38 years. The practice is managed by wife, Lisa. I was also an adjunct professor for a short period of time in New York and have taught CPA review courses. I am a passionate New York sports fan but do not have much to cheer about recently. My activities include playing soccer, cycling, and exercise in general. I still play soccer on a men’s over 55 league, and still love the competitiveness and comradery of teams sports. My leisure time enjoyments are spending time with Lisa, enjoying our boat and reading a good book. Lastly, Lisa and I were actively involved in our church in NY and I was a member of the church consistory for a few years.
