I grew up in Binghamton, New York.  I joined Toastmasters back in 2007 originally but never attended at that club and finally came back in 2010 and joined the Roanoke Texas Toastmasters club. I am a CPA with FedEx and have been with the company for over 12 years.

This is my first time in serving the district, but I was both a Pathways Ambassador and Guide.  I have served as VP of Public Relation in 2016 -2017 and club President in 2017 -2018 for the Roanoke Club.  My wife, Maria, is currently the club secretary.

Toastmasters has helped me be more active in my professional life and personal life as well.  It taught me how to relax when talking with people.

My wife and I enjoy traveling and we travel to Europe at least once a year.

I chose to accept the role as Audit Chair because it was something I had never done before and I have learned from Toastmasters, that if there is something you want to try or learn to do, just take that step and leap of faith and go forward.
