My wife Joan and I have been homeowners in Bethany Beach since 1990, and we have been full time residents of the town since 1999 when we both retired, she from teaching and I from a financial organization.  Our love of the beach and the quality of life in the town were the main factors that resulted in our deciding many years ago to retire to Bethany.  We have never been sorry.

I believe Bethany Beach is a well run, financially sound community.  I also believe my experience and background would allow me to contribute to the continued well being of the town.  I retired as Chief Financial Officer of the Navy Federal Credit Union after 26 years.  Previous employment was as Director of Administration and Secretary/Treasurer of a data processing consulting firm.  I served as a communications officer in the Navy and in the Naval Security Group at the National Security Agency.  I received my BS degree in Business Administration from UCLA.

Both my wife and I believe in giving back to the community through volunteer work.  For seven of my nine years on the board of the Lake Bethany Community Association where we reside I served as President.  Since living in Bethany Beach, I have served on ad hoc committees for the town—the Natter Property Committee (Nature Center), the Trolley Committee, and the Recycle Committee.  For the past two years, I have been a member of the Budget and Finance Committee. .  Joan has been involved with the Friends of the South Coastal Library and the Beach & Bay Cottage Tour.
