Community Involvement
One of the best ways to see Don's life philosophy in action is to look at the dynamic relationship he shares with his family. Don is dedicated to being there all the way for his family--giving 110% of himself to ensure they reach their goals. Whether he was encouraging his son in a variety of sports, or running with his daughter to help her prepare for a big race, he instilled in them the same determination to give more of themselves to everything they do. His daughter graduated from Ithaca college, married her college sweetheart and is now a full time mom expecting her second child. His son graduated from the School of Visual Arts in NYC and now is a graphic designer and does motion graphics for MLB network.
Don isn't limited to helping just his children reach their goals. Having completed over 18 marathons, he has helped to raise thousands of dollars for charities by sponsoring local races or competing in races for charitable organizations. Firmly committed to helping those around him reach their full potential, he doesn't think twice about helping them to train, raise money, or sponsor a community event. He also finds time to serve on various town, church and YMCA committees. But where he is really helping the communities of Morris, Somerset and Hunterdon counties is through his work as one of the area's leading real estate professionals.
