I'm a true Brooklyn native - I was born and raised here, and have lived in the community my entire life alongside my wonderful wife and four children. I attended area schools, graduating from Edward R Murrow High School and New York University. My involvement in the area runs deep, serving on the board of trustees of my synagogue, Flatbush Park Jewish Center, for more than 10 years. I'm proud to call Brooklyn home for many reasons, among them the wonderful cultural diversity that characterizes New York City. And it's on display at my Allstate office, where Hebrew, Yiddish, Spanish and Arabic are spoken fluently.
