As I reflect on my career, I realize that there are many people I owe for their friendship, their partnership, and their support. I could not have done this without them. I am grateful to my family and my wife for all they have done and the sacrifices they made to allow me to live my dream. I leave the Town of Bel Air in competent hands knowing that the future spells nothing but continuing success for the Town with them at the helm. This is not goodbye; I will still be looking for projects and activities to make myself useful. My only hope is that my contributions over the years have made a difference. My journey has been rewarding, and I am most appreciative of those who made this journey with me.”
