Biography

I have been an environmental consultant since 1989.  My first career was as an exploration geophysicist on the Gulf Coast for a major oil company. Born and raised in the New York City area, I have lived in New Jersey since becoming an environmental consultant.  Most of my professional practice is in New Jersey and New York City.  I am passionate about the environment, and enjoy outdoor activities, such as cycling, hiking, and tennis.  I also love music, and belong to three performing groups, either as a singer in classical choirs (I sing tenor) or as a piano accompanist with The Loose Canons, a folk song group.  Check out our website at www.theloosecanons.org (that's me, back row, fourth from left!)
