Now
I live in Collingswood, NJ, with my wife, Beth, and two cats. Rest in peace, Merle (2012-03-21 – 2024-03-21).
Since March 2023, I have served as the Executive Director of the New Jersey Library Association. For the previous four years, I worked as the Chief Operating Officer for the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library.
Beth is a therapist who specializes in Gestalt psychotherapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She is licensed through the social work boards in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. In addition, Beth teaches Jivamukti, Yin, and trauma-informed yoga.
I love to read and listen to books, podcasts, and music. I exercise a few times each week, mostly running and lifting weights.
I currently volunteer for four library-focused organizations:
- American Library Association (ALA), as an Endowment Trustee, and the Trustees’ liaison to ALA’s Philanthropy Advisory Group;
- Collingwood Public Library, as Treasurer of the Library’s Board of Trustees;
- Montclair State University’s Harry A. Sprague Library Board of Advocates;
- Public Library Association, an ALA division, on two committees: Budget and Finance, and Measurement, Evaluation, and Assessment.
