8 LEHAVRE COURIER | OCTOBER 2019 | WWW.QNS.COM
Bachelors Degree, majoring in
Public Accountancy.
What do you see as the
major priorities for Le
Havre for the next year.
To have an efficient running
operation and keep operating
costs low.
Prioritize future major capital
improvements and replacements
through multiyear
budgeting.
Solidify the financial position
of Le Havre and continue to
enhance income and reduce
expenses.
Build our capital reserves for
future major capital improvements
which will increase our
property values.
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 coop
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
Certified Public Accountant,
in my own practice. Seventyfive
percent of my practice
deals with coop
and condominium
developments. I have
been doing this for 40 years.
I deal with every financial
aspect of these developments,
including budgeting,
attending Board meetings,
giving advice to the various
Boards and preparing financial
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 first years
as a coop
(19841986)
and
have been Treasurer from
April 2004, until I became
President in June 2011.
If reelected
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 efficiently
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 finance
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.

Additional Information:
As a longtime
resident of
LHOC, I fully realize the great
potential of this community.
What I’ve discovered is that
the more involved you are
in this community, the more
you appreciate the complex,
our neighbors and all of the
people who work to make this
a better place.
Thank you to the active
members of the Board who
consistently devote their
time and energy to make
sure this very large, complex
organization runs well. I’m a
Building (Co)Captain and was
a founding member of the
LHOC Marketing Committee
where we developed a comprehensive
marketing plan
and created a new brochure
for the complex. As an avid
photographer, I captured
(and donated) the photo of
LeHavre that hangs in the
clubhouse.
If elected to the board, I’m
fully committed to do what
is needed in order to develop
solutions that create a
strong, sustainable financial
profile for the coop and each
shareholder.
