About Me

   As the former General President for Boston Metro Area Local 100 APWU, I had the good fortune of having the #1 organized local among locals with 2000 or more members in the APWU.  Under my presidency, we rose from 92% to 95% organized.  The successes that I enjoyed in my local as President and Director of Industrial Relations are in direct proportion to the generosity of many Brothers and Sisters in my local.  

   It seems to me that, wherever we go, we hear nothing but doom and gloom regarding our future in the Postal Service.  I, for one, do not buy into that negativity.  We can and will win a future for the APWU and all of our Brothers and Sisters.  No doubt, this will take tremendous hard work and perserverance as we navigate through the minefields of uncertainty.  I believe I have the inexhaustible energy, dedication and passion to get the job done.  If elected, I will concentrate on meeting with all of our locals throughout our great country to, once again, put fire in the belly of the APWU.

   Brothers and Sisters, I relinquished my position as General President for Boston Metro because I believe remaining in office is unethical. Why should my Local pay for my leave as I seek this vital position?  This decision was not made by me lightly however; I am comitted to devoting everything in my being to winning this position.This job requires,and you deserve, all of my tlme and energy .
