“It’s easy to make decisions when you know what your values are.”
Father of 3, grandfather of 5, and happily married for 37 years to the woman of my dreams. Driven by passion for family, faith and leadership, I have the tremendous blessing of having discovered what I love to do and getting someone to pay me for it – using the leadership principles of the Walt Disney Company to inspire others to do something great.

Over my 35-year career, I have effectively led teams of both front-line employees and leaders in a variety of geographic and economic situations. My greatest strength and asset as a leader has always been the ability to develop people and help them achieve their personal and professional goals.
I root for the Red Sox and New England Patriots, play golf with my sons, spend as much time as I can with the grandkids, study the family tree, occasionally strum a tune on my guitar, and spend every minute I can in the company of my soulmate, Diana. Our favorite thing to do? Spend time with the kids and their spouses. Kids are a lot more fun when they they’re grown and on their own.
. . .I have come to know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good during one’s life; and also that every man should eat and indeed drink and see good for all his hard work. It is the gift of God. (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13)
