I worked during the summers to support my education and that included being a merchant Marine at 15 years oId traveling to South America and the next year to the Black Sea. Then I world as a groundsman for a Asplundh Tree company working up to Foreman. I worked a summer job for a Investment company at the final years of college. The previous jobs were hard work and long hours. We did what we needed to do and more. I played sports in High School and was an all state, all area Philadelphia running back and linebacker. I was an All American in Lacrosse. I know how to compete. I graduated from Lehigh University. I started as a Math and Physics major and ended up graduating with a degrees in Economics and in Finance. I paid for my education with my summer earnings, and took every class available to me, crossing into the engineering college for math and computers. My last day of college my mother died of cancer and I was on my own. My fathers mantra “be successful” translated to me at that age to make money. Later the true meaning was realized, be the best you can at what you do. I was an over achiever and gravitated to Wall Street and quickly rose.
For the rest of my bio see my Facebook page Zimmerfor150- I am a financial problem solver that is my expertise. I want to do what I can to reduce the tax burden while improving our infrastructure.
- I am tired of the divisive issues that are tearing our country apart. We need to find a balance and that takes negotiation and sincerity
- I am focusing on issues for our towns. We need to coordinate issues on town water, town revitalization, roads and expenses.
