Tell us about an organization in your town that makes you feel good
The Boys & Girls Village! This Milford nonprofit serves at-risk boys, girls, and families by providing therapeutic services in the community, permanency planning, a K-12 day school for children with special behavioral and educational needs, and residential programming. It has served the region's children, youth and families since 1942. I served on the board of Boys Village for 14 years as VP and President for 10 years and as CEO for a decade.
Where do you go for inspiration and creativity?
I've been the pastor (semi-retired) of Wildermere Beach Congregational Church (WBCC) since 2012. WBCC which was established in 1895 - 125 years serving the Lord and West Shore of Milford! The quality of the lay leadership and participation of the membership is some of the best I have experienced in 48 yrs of ministry! (note: I was the Senior Pastor at Grace Baptist Church 1978-1999) In addition, I served on the board of MFD Police Commissioners for 16 years and I’m proud of Chief Mello and the Department.
What do you love about your community?
I love that it’s a small city with nice neighborhoods. Milford spans 17 miles of Shoreline (the longest in Connecticut) and has great restaurants!
