After many years in West Orange, my wife Mary Eileen and I made the move down the shore in 2024, settling into our family beach house in Point Pleasant Beach. Earlier this year, we also bought a home in Toms River and now split our time between the two.
I spent my career in the jewelry business, earning my degree from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). I had to retire a bit earlier than planned after being diagnosed with lupus, but I’ve been grateful for the time it’s given me to focus on family and enjoy life at a different pace. Mary Eileen recently retired after a long and rewarding career as a delivery nurse at St. Barnabas in Livingston.
We don’t have children of our own, but we’re lucky to have six wonderful nieces and nephews who feel like ours. We both love to travel—especially to Italy, England, and Sedona—but in recent years we stayed closer to home while caring for our parents.
Looking forward to catching up and reminiscing with everyone at the 40th.
