Occupation: I am a correctional ID records specialist at Garner. I take care of custody records, and I am the chief of the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Before that, I worked at Fairfield Hills for 21 years as a mental health worker and in the business office.

Family: I have a son, Chris, who is 35, and my daughter-in-law, Dana, and a 10-year-old granddaughter, Carleigh.

Pets: I have two black cats, Cliff and Kitty. I have two dogs, Casey and Blue. Casey is a black mix-breed and Blue is a German shepard.

How long have you lived in Newtown? I have lived here for 14 years.

What do you do in your free time? Well, a lot of my time is spent at the ambulance garage. I like to spend time with my family, though. Carleigh and I take a vacation every summer to the beach.

Do you have a favorite book or movie? My absolute favorite book is Gone With The Wind. I liked the movie, too, but the book was better. My favorite movie is an old, old movie called How Green Was My Valley. It reminds me a little of Angela’s Ashes.

Do you have a favorite travel destination? My goal is to go to the Grand Canyon when I retire. It just looks like an awesome place. There are so many beautiful spots in the United States.

Who do you most admire? Probably my grandmother. She had small kids during the depression. She lost children, but she still kept my family together. She was a good person and had very good values that she passed on.

What is the best thing about Newtown? It’s a very nice, small town atmosphere. And I like the flagpole. If you drive down Castle Hill at night just once, you would never argue about that flagpole again. It’s just beautiful.

Do you have a personal philosophy? I try to treat everybody as I would like to be treated.

Where would you like to be in 20 years? I would like to be healthy and happy still. And still have a brain. I would like to be a contributing member of the ambulance corps  and if my back holds out, I would still like to be an EMT.

What is the most important lesson you have ever learned? Think first, talk later. I think I learned that from a time when I talked first.
