I am honored and proud to serve as CBOA’s  75th president. Never in my wildest dreams did I  think I would become the president of CBOA. I have been fortunate to have been mentored by many great officials, namely Tim Mcaleer who encouraged me to try out for CBOA. I still remember when I received the call from Tim McAleer , METNY area rep, that I have been accepted as an associate member of CBOA. It was one of the greatest feelings to be accepted into CBOA.

CBOA has gone through many changes over the years, good and bad. CBOA has been fortunate to have two great executive directors in my time , Tom Lopes & Tom O’Connor. I’m confident that with Tom O’Connor’s experience and guidance along with the assistance of my fellow board members CBOA will continue to be a great training and development opportunity for young and experienced officials trying to improve their craft.

CBOA has recently named two interpreters , Brandon Cruz and Mike Preston, to help guide officials in their transition from high school to collegiate basketball. I am thankful for all the friendships I have made through CBOA. I am confident that CBOA will continue to grow and help many officials like myself achieve the dream of becoming a college official. I look forward to working with all of you in this upcoming year.

I am fortunate to have a supportive wife Cathy and my children who have always allowed me to pursue my love for officiating. I am thankful for everyone's support, especially my fellow METNY CBOA members for their continued  support in this upcoming year.

I look forward to seeing many of you at this year's 75th anniversary Banquet in April 2024 in Atlantic City.
