Went to Holy Cross in 9th grade and FPM for 10th to 12th. Met my wife in FPM and we got married in 1974.

After graduating from Pace University in NYC, I took a year off and worked for an attorney. Went to law school in Ohio (Ohio Northern University)

Had a partner for 11 years in Mineola and I have been in my own solo practice in Floral Park since 1991. My office is on Plainfield Avenue about 500 feet from the doors to the OLV Church.

I was on national TV in 1998 and many times thereafter repeated over the years, on the first David Blaine special, Street Magic. A You Tube clip is below.

Many medical problems in past 4 years, from cancer (chemo & radiation took care of it, now cancer free) to two hip replacements and a quadruple bypass AND I am a SURVIVOR!!!

Missed six months of 8th grade in a full body cast at home. Sister Saint Vincent came to visit me, but S.A.M. did not.


Biggest OLV Memory :

I was flipping baseball cards in the schoolyard with Steve Cuomo and Dick Kosinski in 6th grade at lunchtime. When we got back to class, we were told to go home, but not told why....... JFK asassinated....., I still get the chills.
