Temple Sinai is my Sinai because, it is my place of peace and learning and it is where our children received their wonderful Jewish educations.

I have been a member of Temple Sinai since the early 70’s and served as president from 1981 to 1983.

I graduated from Ohio State University in 1955 and immediately started working in the apparel industry. I was in my own business for more than 35 years and traveled all over the world. In 1972, my family and I moved to Hong Kong, and during those two years, my oldest son became a Bar Mitzvah in an Orthodox synagogue built by the Sassoon family.

I returned to New York in 1974. In 1991, I joined Jones New York Apparel Group, and in 2001, became executive Vice President of Manufacturing. I retired in 2005. Two years later I spent a year as a consultant for Ralph Lauren. I am currently doing consulting work for various apparel companies.

My wife, Mary, and I live in Port Washington. We share six children and eleven grandchildren.

I have been an avid fly fisherman for most of my life. I enjoy opera, theatre, classical music, Chinese cooking, travel, and reading.
