I am announcing that I will be turning my papers in for nomination as a candidate for the Master Board from Single Family Homes.

I was elected as an Aldermen at Large in the City of Newton Mass, a city with a population or around 90,000 citizens. I served in that position for twelve years and then joined my wife in Countryside. Prior to being elected to the Board of Aldermen, I was a police officer for the City of Newton, my experience made me an asset when I joined the Board of Alderman.

Being owners in Countryside since 1991, first we owned two condos in Country Haven and in 2001 my wife and I purchased a house on Countryside Dr. When I was in Country Haven, I was president of building one and I am now a director on Homeowners one.

In the time I have spent in Countryside, I have seen things that I think need to be addressed and some things that need to be changed. I know if elected, I would be one of nine members, but I will be heard on constituent's issues.
