Self-portrait: "I'm high-energy and creative and look for ways to be entrepreneurial and build Jewish communities. Most of my time has been my professional career and helping others to build and strengthening their Jewish community. I've been blessed to be working with the Jewish community all over North America, helping to build strong communities. I worked in the Midwest, Canada.

Motto: "The impossible only takes a bit longer to achieve."

Greatest accomplishment: "Establishing longtime personal relationships and teaching my kids to be good citizens and give back to the community."

Bad habits: "I'm not a patient person. I don't like people who aren't honest and fair."

Favorite TV Show: " 'NCIS,' 'CSI,' and I like to watch poker on TV."

Favorite food: "I like breakfast foods, especially omelets."

Best childhood memory: "I was involved with Boy Scouts when I was young. I became an Eagle Scout and a camp director at a very young age. Most memorable experiences were camping and hiking for three weeks in New Mexico and at the 1964 New York World's Fair working at the Boy Scout pavilion."

People don't know that I... "I own DeLiteful Foods and Cafe DeLite with my wife Ronnie."

Last book I read: "Have A Little Faith," by Mitch Albom.

The biggest asset in the local Jewish communities: "The biggest asset in this community are the passionate volunteers that brought the community to what it is today. They have put a lot of time, effort, commitment, and creativity to visualize making this a dynamic community."

The biggest problem in the local Jewish communities: "I believe that we are so geographically dispersed -- we are in two counties and two states -- the biggest problem is to create a sense of community."

If I had more time, I would... "Make aliyah and move to Israel. It's a long-term dream."
