I offer the following resume on leadership for your consideration to re-elect me to the Tyngsboro Board of Selectmen.

Elected unanimously by the Board of Selectmen to be Chairman. I have worked diligently to unite this Board and together, we have accomplished many positive programs for this Town. I have mentioned many of these accomplishments already in this web site.

I believe that the current Board of Selectmen is the best and most productive Board of all times. We were named The Lowell Sun's Municipal Board Of The Year, an honor never before bestowed on any Board!

I served on the Zoning Board of Appeals for 15 years, many of those years as Chairman. Once again elected by my peers. I enjoyed very much, the leadership role that I played during very difficult hearings.

I have been a member of the Tyngsboro Trust Fund Committee for 12 years. We have aided many residents in Town and have made a major difference in their quality of life. Together with other community leaders, we play a major role during Thanksgiving and
Christmas Holidays.

Many years ago, together with my friend and former Selectman Kevin Coughlin, I started the Tyngsboro Memorial Avenue Of Flags. The American Flag flies proudly on Tyngsboro's Roads during major patriotic holidays.

I have been Chairman of the Memorial Day Committee for Many years. I'm extremely proud of the Town's patriotic Participation.

I have been the Town's Veteran's Agent for 21 years. I was recently named The Top Veteran's Agent in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. An honor bestowed on me by my fellow Veteran's Agents!

I am the recent Past-President Of The Massachusetts Veterans Service Officers Association, Inc. I had the pleasure of representing Veteran's Agents at legislative hearings. I helped shape the delivery of Veterans' services to our Veterans, their widows and orphans. I was a member of the Governors Veterans Advisory Board, during this exciting year of service to Veterans!

I am presently the Legislative Agent for the Massachusetts Veterans' Service Officers Assn., Inc. My duties include the filing of Veteran's legislation and giving testimony at the State House. Tyngsboro and Veterans have been well represented on "The Hill".

I am a Board Member, Selective Service System for over 15 years. My duties include adapting committee goals and procedures to current legal guidelines in keeping with the goal of readiness within 24 hours of Presidential action. This position is commonly referred to as the Draft Board.

I am proud of the leadership role that I have played in my adult life. My family background, as well as high school leadership roles as President Senior Class, Vice-President Student Council, all shaped who I would be! Integrity certainly plays a vital role in the selection of a leader. I would not have the confidence of my peers in the afore mentioned roles, if they did not consider my integrity to be at the highest level. I have represented the Town of Tyngsboro in Superior Court, as well as before the ABCC. I can tell you with Pride, that my testimony on all occasions has been truthful, believable and without question! My appearances in Court have always resulted with the Town's position being upheld.
