"Our success was based less on the talents of individual players but more on our cohesiveness as a team."

I was born in New York (Long Island) and graduated from Princeton University in 1975 with a science degree. While at Princeton, I played varsity basketball for three years and was a starting guard on the 1975 team that won the National Invitation Tournament. Based on the team’s success in the NIT, I was drafted by both professional basketball leagues. While Princeton provided me an excellent education, my experience playing basketball instilled in me values I use to this day. Throughout my three years playing varsity basketball, and in each of the four games of the NIT, we were regularly the underdog. Our success during these years was based on our cohesiveness as a team, not on the talents of individual players. That team concept – the ability to put team success ahead of individual interests – must be a central part of our political discourse if we are to put the country back on track towards growth and financial stability.

After college, I received an MBA in Finance from the Tuck School at Dartmouth in 1982 and left to work in NYC. It was at this job I had my first lesson in the inefficiency of the federal government. In 1982, President Reagan initiated a study called the President’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control (better known as the Grace commission) which was tasked to root out waste and inefficiency in the federal government. The leader of the study was the CEO of my company and I was assigned for one year to coordinate incoming reports from task forces around the country. What became clear in this study was that an organization as large and diverse as the federal government presents many opportunities to save money by running more efficiently. I’m certain that's true today.

I’ve made my home in NH since 1985 when I returned to join a bank in Lebanon as a commercial lender. After 4 years, I started my own management consulting firm, advising closely held and family owned businesses. After more than 20 years working with small businesses, I have a great appreciation for the challenges small business face and the need for clear and fair rules (tax, regulatory, etc) to allow these businesses that are the engine of job growth, to thrive. Since 2008, I’ve owned a small service company where I’m currently president, and experiencing firsthand the challenges of this difficult economy.

I live in Wilmot with my wife, a special education teacher in Newport, and daughter, in a passive/active solar home we designed and built in 2007 (we generate about 50% of our heat and domestic hot water and 66% of our electricity). I also have a stepson who lives in Amherst, MA.
