He has also been part of the Town’s Adopt-a-Spot program and was contracted by Covanta Energy of Babylon to maintain Santapogue Creek.

I have my landscaping background and believe that may help the committee," he said. "I have been involved in many projects and programs and have seen what works and what doesn’t work and I grew up in a Village (Babylon) where they literally get out there and scrub the sidewalks, so I know how important these programs are to the maintenance of our communities and the quality of life here in Babylon."
