About Chris

Early Life and Education

Chris was born and raised in Southern New Jersey alongside his two older brothers. His Dad, who left school after the 9th grade to work at his grandparents' deli, met his Mom, and together they started a family business. Chris is proud to have been the first person in his family to attend college. Chris pursued and completed a degree in Finance. Driven by a passion for helping people, Chris has dedicated himself to leveraging his education to make a meaningful impact in Princeton.

Family

Growing up, Chris witnessed firsthand the dedication and perseverance of his parents, both at home and in their business. This instilled in Chris a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for the value of education. These values have carried forward into Chris' own family life.  Chris and his husband, Eric moved to Princeton to provide their son with access to high-quality education and a vibrant, diverse community. 

Professional Experience

Chris attended Villanova University, and upon graduation, moved to Boston to begin his career in the financial services industry at a large custodian bank. Starting in Operations within the bank's Prime Brokerage Division, Chris worked hard to advance to the International Equities Sales Trading Desk. Chris' career trajectory took him to a global management consulting firm, where he led strategy development and execution, and process improvement engagements for financial services clients.  Chris is now the 2nd generation owner of the family business.  Chris has played a significant role in the growth and development of the family’s business for the past 20 years.  Chris obtained his MBA in 2012 from Rutgers while working full time.  Chris is also Lean Sig Sigma Certified.  

PTO and District Involvement

​

I’ve served in many volunteer roles since my son started at Community Park School, including class parent, chair of the annual school-wide STEAM Day event, for which I built connections with numerous individuals and organizations throughout the Princeton area to present STEAM topics to students. Most recently, I have been serving as PTO Co-President.

Additionally, I stay actively informed about the management of Princeton Public Schools by attending regular Board of Education meetings, BOE committee meetings, and Parent Teacher Organization Council (PTOC) meetings.

Last school year, I was involved in the switch of After Care providers. When issues arose with the new provider in September 2023, each elementary school was asked to nominate 2 parents to join a District-wide Advisory Team. I represented our elementary school along with another parent. We served as the liaison between our school's parents who used the After Care program and the District. We interviewed the two other providers that were runners-up in the original request for proposals and recommended the current provider, who has since had a successful year and will be in place again for the 2024-2025 school year.

​One of the more gratifying experiences I’ve had in working with PPS, is helping to bring together all four elementary school PTO Co-Presidents to communicate and collaborate. We were able to share ideas and insights among the schools, and find common purpose.
