regarding budget and fi nancial matters,
including preparation of budgets.
Bachelor’s Degree, majoring in
Public Accountancy.
What do you see as the major priorities

To have an effi cient running operation
and keep operating costs
low; prioritize future major capital
improvements and replacements
through multi-year budgeting; solidify
the fi nancial position of Le Havre
and continue to enhance income
and reduce expenses; and build our

Additional Information:
I have been a resident at Le Havre
since 1972, the year Arlene and I
were married. Our children, Jeffrey
and Rebecca, grew up here. In
1984, when Le Havre became a
co-op development, we purchased
our apartment in Building #17.
Subsequently, when we needed
more space, we moved to Building
#20.
As many know, I am a Certifi ed
Public Accountant, in my own
practice. Seventy-fi ve percent of
my practice deals with co-op and
condominium developments. I have
been doing this for 40 years. I deal
with every fi nancial aspect of these
developments, including budgeting,
attending Board meetings, giving
advice to the various Boards
and preparing fi nancial statements
for the developments. I have been
involved in every aspect of advising
these developments.
I have been able to lend this expertise
to Le Havre by serving on the Board
of Directors and holding the position
of Treasurer. I was Treasurer in
its fi rst years as a co-op (1984-1986)
and have been Treasurer from April
2004, until I became President in
June 2011.
If re-elected to the Board, and as
President, I will continue to run an
honest and transparent administration.
I will be proactive to insure
that our operations are run effi ciently
and that we receive the best in
pricing and workmanship from our
contractors and vendors. I will strive
to have as much work done in house
by our Maintenance Department as
possible. Taking all of the above into
account I would hope to keep our
carrying charges in check.
We have made much progress in the
above in the past year in regards to
fi nance and infrastructure. This will
enhance our property value and
improve our quality of life. I appreciate
the enormous support I have
received from my fellow shareholders.
Together we will strive to make
Le Havre the Jewel of Queens.
