I was born and raised in Dumont, New Jersey and moved to Southern California after completing law school.  I married my high school sweatheart and have been married for 27 wonderful years.  My wife and I have two adult children and have recently become empty nesters.  With that said our two dogs keep us very busy.  I am a New York sports fanatic, with the NY Yankees at the forefront of my mind.  The NY Knicks and Rangers keep me busy in the baseball off season.  As for football, I am always following the Minnesota Vikings.  You can ask me why when we meet.  If I am not following sports, I am playing softball, tennis or golf.  I am competitive at heart, but will always play with my wife for fun.
