Collapse all
|I hold a B. Mus in composition from Ithaca College, and a M.B.A . From SUNY Binghamton, where I specialized in non-profit administration. I gained my teaching credentials from Keene State, after the birth of my son. I also have a daughter, both who attended the Keene school district, where my wife was twice elected to serve on the school board.
I moved from Keene to Marlborough three years ago when we needed a larger place to accommodate my mother in law, who we now are caregivers. After eighteen years teaching in the Conval district, I taught in Marlborough for two years before retiring.
While teaching took the bulk of my time, I served a few positions at the Keene Unitarian Universalist Church, including board president. A sometimes performer on guitar, I also lent my voice to various choruses and the Raylynmor Opera. My wife and I met at a contra dance, which is my other avocation.- Our government should never be for sale. Representatives need to listen to the voters and act on their conscience, rather than auctioning their principles to the highest bidder.
- We need to eliminate single use plastics, put an immediate end to fracking and rebuild our economies with wise use of renewable energy sources. There is no alternative, and we are running out of time.
- Economic justice cuts unequally across gender and racial lines. It fuels the race to the bottom in how health care is distributed. The injustice is found in minimum wage laws that hurt the disabled and in a tax structure that drives the elderly from their homes. We can no longer afford to subsidize the uber-weathy in the guise of a New Hampshire Advantage.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
