My parents fled communist Cuba in 1960; I was raised in New Jersey, aware of what it means to be free. I have a BS in Finance from Boston University and an MBA from Columbia University. First, I was an option trader, then Information Specialist at UBS and S.G. Cowen Securities, jumped to Director of FP&A at a small tech startup, helped prepare our acquisition by Elsevier, where I’m now a Business Controller. My wife and I moved to New Canaan with our two sons in 2009. I’m on the Board of Finance, teach Sunday School at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, and am an avid skier, hiker, and birdwatcher
  • I’d seek an appointment to the Energy and Technology Committee of the House of Representatives to promote the transition to renewable energy, upgrades to energy transmission and distribution technology, adoption of new energy storage technologies, and also explore ways to introduce competition to Eversource.
  • I’d seek an appointment to the Transportation Committee of the House of Representatives to support investing in our rail bridges to speed up Metro North service, and—because pedestrians and cyclists made up nearly 20% of crash deaths in 2020 in the U.S.—add education for motorists on the driver’s test to improve safety for all who share the road.
  • I’d seek an appointment to the Environment Committee of the House of Representatives to help consumer products companies innovate ways to reduce plastic packaging, make improvements in recycling and composting to reduce waste entering our limited landfill, and reduce or eliminate noise and air pollution from gas-powered lawn mowers and leaf blowers.
I am passionate about the environment. I want to accelerate the transition to renewable energy by providing incentives and rebates for energy storage companies to come to Connecticut. Also, the longer a politician remains in office, the more likely they’ll be captured by special interests and prioritize re-election over doing the right thing for their constituents. If elected, I’d work to implement term limits in the CT State Legislature. 15 states have already established term limits in their legislatures. My opponent has been in this seat for 10 years…too long in my opinion.
