Township of Wayne

Office of the Mayor

On January 1, 2008, I was honored to be the unanimous selection of the Wayne Township Municipal Council to serve as your new Mayor due to the resignation of Scott T. Rumana. We wish Assemblyman Rumana much success in his new role in the New Jersey Assembly representing the citizens of Wayne and the entire 40th district in Trenton.

In 1962, my parents made a wise decision to move to Wayne Township. Due to that very important decision, I had the opportunity to grow up in Wayne and have now lived here for over 40 years. My wife, Deneen and I, also came to that same realization that this community is a great place to live and raise our family. We have two children who currently attend Wayne Valley High School and George Washington Middle School.

My service to our community started at the age of sixteen when I joined the Wayne Memorial First Aid Squad. During my fifteen years with the First Aid Squad I was elected President for several terms and also held many other leadership positions and thoroughly enjoyed helping others in their time of need. Additionally, I have enjoyed the opportunity to coach my children in many of the athletic programs offered here in Wayne Township.

Starting in 1991, I was fortunate to be elected by the voters of Wayne as a Trustee of The Wayne Board of Education for three successive terms. I truly enjoyed my time as a member of the Board. I believe that we have a fine educational system and that is why many people decide to move to Wayne and raise their families here.

In 2001 you elected me to a four-year term as a Councilman-at-large and reelected me to a second four-year term in 2005. The Council recently appointed Larry Maron to fill my un-expired seat on the Council. We wish him success in his new position representing the citizens of Wayne.

My philosophy on government is quite simple. I believe we are in the customer service business and as such, that our function is to serve the people of Wayne to the best of our ability. This philosophy will be the cornerstone of my Administration.

Please feel free to contact me with your concerns at town hall at 973-694-1800 ext 3201 or by e-mail.
