| Bio | I run for office, organize voters, and build civic technology — because I believe democracy works best when more people actively participate. In 2015, I ran as the Democratic candidate for the Nassau County Legislature, representing a district of 35,000 residents, on a platform of government transparency and fiscal accountability. In 2022, I served as a Field Organizer for the New York State Democratic Committee, managing 100+ daily voter contacts through NGP VAN and leading a team of 100+ volunteers in canvassing, phone banking, and voter registration across Long Island. I currently serve as an elected Election District Leader for the Suffolk County Democratic Committee in the Town of Huntington. I am the founder of American Civic Power (americancivicpower.com) and the creator of CivicSphere (mycivicsphere.com) — a full-stack civic technology platform featuring live congressional data, AI-powered bill summaries, constituent voting tools, and representative vote comparisons. The platform is built on my 12 Points of Good Governance framework and introduces original civic vocabulary — CIVESTOR™, CIVEST™, and CIVESTMENT™ — reframing citizenship from passive taxpayer to active civic investor. My professional background spans nearly 35 years of high-volume customer service across healthcare, banking, energy, and technology — equipping me with the communication, compliance, and organizational skills that make me an effective organizer and advocate. I am actively seeking opportunities in field organizing, political media, civic technology, or electoral communications for the 2026 cycle.

| Impact | My most direct political impact has come through organizing, running for office, and technology. As a Field Organizer for the New York State Democratic Committee in 2022, I managed more than 100 daily voter contacts via NGP VAN and led a team of more than 100 volunteers across canvassing, phone banking, and voter registration. Our efforts contributed to measurable increases in voter engagement across multiple Long Island districts during a critical election cycle. In 2015, I ran as the Democratic candidate for the Nassau County Legislature’s 17th District, building a full campaign from scratch — fundraising, recruiting volunteers, developing messaging, and bringing issues such as government transparency and fiscal oversight to a district of 35,000 residents. As an elected Election District Leader for the Suffolk County Democratic Committee, I oversee a 270-voter district in the Town of Huntington — managing direct mail, digital outreach, and community engagement programs to keep voters connected between election cycles. Through CivicSphere, I have built technology that makes it easier for everyday constituents to track legislation, understand how their representatives vote, and engage in the democratic process — bringing civic power directly to the people who need it most. |
| Mission | My mission is to strengthen democracy by bridging the gap between citizens and their government — through organizing, technology, and direct civic action. With a critical election cycle underway in 2026, I am focused on contributing full-time to Democratic campaigns, progressive organizations, and civic initiatives that engage voters, build community power, and elect candidates who will defend democratic institutions and advance equity and government accountability. I founded American Civic Power and built CivicSphere because I believe an informed, engaged citizenry is the foundation of a functioning democracy. I coined the term “civestor” to reframe how we view civic participation — not as a passive obligation but as an active investment in the communities we share. Whether I am knocking on doors, training volunteers, building a platform, or running for office, my goal remains the same: more people participating, more voices heard, and more Democrats winning. |
