Candidate Profile
Warwick residents for more than 20 years, Don and his bride Kelly moved here because of a bet. (True story.) They took a wager that they couldn’t spend a whole day in Warwick — picking apples, dining in town, shopping, sightseeing — without asking to talk to a real estate agent. They lost the bet, but won a happy new life in beautiful Warwick.
As an award-winning creative marketing executive, Don has 40 years’ experience listening to the public, to consumers, to businesspeople of all kinds, and collaborating to create solutions that respond to their needs. In a career that includes work in the construction, healthcare, entertainment, insurance, not-for-profit, and technology fields, he’s most proud of his life-saving wellness and smoking cessation campaigns for the New York City Department of Health.
Not all business, Don has also published three novels, teaches and performs improvisational theater, developed a theater academy curriculum for our local renaissance faire, rides a unicycle, runs a trivia night in Greenwood Lake, and is now running for Town Board to help uphold Warwick’s core values.
