I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and moved to Maine with my wife, Robin, in 2003. We honeymooned in Bar Harbor and heard about this little city called Portland, ME. We visited Portland in Dec, and the following April we bought a house and moved across country. We first joined Bet Ha’am when our first daughter was born in 2005 and we now have 2 teenage daughters and live in Cape Elizabeth. As much as I love the quality of life here in Maine, I’ve found the awareness about Jewish culture is quite lacking, and our family has had wonderful experiences introducing friends to Jewish customs and traditions. Now that we can congregate in person again, I’m looking forward to socializing with our Bet Ha’am community in the coming months.

I did my undergraduate study at San Francisco State University and attended graduate school at the University of Wisconsin- Madison where I studied Educational Psychology. I’m a local realtor and I receive tremendous gratification from helping people navigate a challenging, and often stressful, life transition. I’m the 2021 Cultural Ambassador for Keller Williams Realty Maine, and I sit on the associate leadership council, culture and DEI committees. My wife is a Spanish teacher in Portland Schools, and our two daughters will be attending Cape Elizabeth High School this fall.

At Bet Ha’am, I’ve been involved with the membership committee and I’m really looking forward to working on the board to see how we can make our congregation even stronger. My intention is to infuse enjoyment and connection into everything I work on so people will want to participate even more. I thank you for the opportunity to serve this community.
