Joe was elected to Town Council on September 8, 2007. My wife Peggie and I have been married for 46 years. Our children Mary, Brian, Eileen, Jacqueline, our grandchildren Connor Joseph and Riley Kathleen, have been coming to Bethany Beach for the last 35 years. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, so much so that we are remodeling our Bethany home, owners since 1988, in order to hopefully make this our full-time residence. My entire professional career has been in the financial arena (I am a CPA), and this has allowed me to develop a substantial skill set in financial reporting and long-term planning, as well as managing for results. I have, since last year, reduced my employment status from a full-time public practice partner to part-time. I have used this extra free time to serve as an active member of Bethany's Budget and Finance Committee for 2006 - 2007. I really enjoyed this experience as I had the opportunity to deal with the Town's Treasurer, Committee Members, Accounting and Management Staff. It was a real treat meeting and dealing with these competent individuals, as everyone had the same ultimate objective of doing the best job they could for the continued betterment of Bethany Beach. I have been very fortunate over the years to have had a most enjoyable and rewarding professional career, but this was not exclusive of successful community service endeavors. A brief outline of my professional and community service career is as follows: Professional/Memberships

Therefore, I am told if I am to be elected, I must have your vote. So, I ask that you give my candidacy your due consideration. Now, in order for me to know your position on my candidacy: "May all those in favor find their road to Heaven paved in gold." "May all those against, twist their ankle so that we know them by their limp." I look forward to serving you and the best interests of our Community in this job. Your consideration of my candidacy is most appreciated. |
