This page is maintained by me, Richard, but I will eventually get my wife's information up here also.  My wife's incredible amount of activity in the borough makes her known to a lot more people than me.  Some of her activities include school secretary at Erskine School, Mrs. Republican of the Ringwood Republican Club in 2006, long time member and 4 time past president of the Ringwood Ambulance Auxiliary, member of the Ringwood Environmental Commission, past secretary to the Ringwood Board of Health and Councilwoman and deputy mayor of the Ringwood municipal council for the last four years.

When I was in my teens, I quit high school to join the U.S. Navy.  It wasn't until a few years later after leaving the Navy that I earned my GED and then my Bachelor and Master degrees in Psychology earning summa cum laude honors for both degrees.  I had a 4.0 graduate Grade Point Average for my Master's.  I started the Ph.D. program in Experimental Psychology at Fordham University, but had to leave the program in my first semester due to a motorcycle accident.  I have no permanent injuries from the accident, but I was in pain for eight months at the time.  I only completed two of my four courses for the semester and dropped out.

While I was in the Navy I took a test that entitled me to join Mensa, the high IQ Society.  I took other tests in college, including the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), with the same result, so I finally reached out and joined Mensa.

After I earned my MA at Montclair State University, I realized that a masters degree in psychology was not worth very much in the job market so I immediately started looking for work in the high tech market and worked more than 20 years in technology or engineering management.

Much more to come!!
