About

• I am a college adviser with over 20 years of experience and have worked successfully with students of various academic and talent backgrounds, including athletes. My professional experiences include having served as a past president of the New Jersey Association of College Admission Counseling, serving on the ETS High School Advisory Board, being a member of the ACT New Jersey Counselors' Committee and serving two terms on the National Association for College Admission Counseling Admission Practices Committee. In addition, my background includes working as a director of guidance and college counseling at both the public school and private school levels. I have coached a successful  college basketball program as well as being a  high school basketball, golf and track / field coach. Many of my former high school players went on to participate in their sport at the college level. Students who I have counseled have been admitted to Penn , Union, Yale, Princeton, Georgetown, Penn State, N.Y.U, UC - Santa Barbara, UC Berkeley, Rutgers , University of Delaware, Vanderbilt, Furman University, University of Texas at Austin, UC - Riverside, Temple University, Carnegie -Mellon, University of Michigan, University of South Carolina, University of Kentucky, Radford University, University of Indiana and a host of other schools during my twenty plus years of counseling students. My counseling philosophy is to treat each student as if they were my own child and to give each student my best effort everyday.
