My wife, Patte, and I moved to Bradfield Farms in May 2002 from Rochester, NY.  We are both natives of the western New York area where we raised three children.  We moved to the Charlotte area for several reasons- our daughter, Susan, lives in Huntersville, we are sick of snow, and I am semi-retired.

I hold a license to practice pharmacy in both NY State and in NC.  I am presently employed by Randolph Hospital in Asheboro on a part-time basis.  My past fulltime employments have given me the opportunity to help and advise patients in drug store, hospital, psychiatric, and nursing home settings. Opportunities to serve the community have been many and fulfilling.  I have served on two different Church councils.  Also, I have been involved with Social Ministries, sandwich-making for the homeless, and ushering in Church.  I have assisted in the Boy Scout troop where our sons attended.   In the high school that our children attended, I became interested in the Sports Booster Club and was president for three years. I also volunteered at a hospital near Rochester for several years.
