Why PCH? Why were you interested in joining the PCH Board and working for affordable housing in Princeton? And how long have you been on the Board?
I did not know about PCH until being approached about joining the board. Once I got to know PCH, I was struck by two things: the professionalism of the team and the worthiness of the mission. Housing is such a critical element of life. Providing stable, affordable homes so that people can live and work in our town helps create the kind of community where I’d like to live.
What is your professional background?
I have spent most of my career doing marketing and innovation in consumer goods and technology. I’m currently a director of innovation at Church & Dwight.
What other volunteer activities do you participate in?
I am primarily involved in activities through my church. My main area of focus is with our middle school and high school kids. I’m also fortunate to lead our annual Loves & Fishes event with St Mary’s Cathedral in Trenton.
How long have you been in the Princeton area and why did you come to this community?
We moved here after business school for work have lived in Princeton twice for a total of about 12 years.
What are your hobbies and interests, specifically as they relate to housing?
Mostly fixing houses. One of the things I have been doing for many years with the Nassau youth group is going on annual service trips. We typically go to Appalachia where we work with the Appalachian Service Project to repair homes, build wheelchair ramps, etc. It is another way of helping people feel safe and secure in their homes.
