I was born and raised in the West End of New Rochelle, and where I currently reside at 40 Edgewood Park. I attended the New Rochelle School system and received my B.S. degree in Business from Iona College. I have lived at my current address for the past 17 years.  I have been married for 27 years, and have four children.  I worked in the corporate world for l2 years as a Project Coordinator in a large manufacturing company.
