I entered this exciting business in 1985, along with some of my peers as one of the first in the area, just before the Javits Center opened. Joining the Metropolitan Exposition team and instantly experiencing the family atmosphere and professionalism of our company has been very rewarding and satisfying. We have a long way to go and grow and I look forward in helping build our company every day. Along with many of my colleagues I grew up in the wonderful town of Ridgefield Park, NJ (which incidentally my father was mayor of for twelve years). I have a unique array of sports teams. I intensely root for the Pittsburg Steelers, Cincinnati Reds and the Utah Jazz. Additionally, I really enjoy coaching and playing any sport I can with my children. I am an active member of my parish, OLM church. I have been happily married since 1991 to my wife Karen who in addition to being there for me all these years has blessed me with my richest life gifts my three children Christopher, Alexis and Olivia.
