From Wall Street to Bay Street.

I practiced as a Wall Street lawyer for over 30 years . . and then decided to “Hang Out a Shingle” in a village by the sea... Sag Harbor.

Q. Can I handle hyper-complex business transactions? A. Yes... I’ve handled hundreds of them before.
Q. So you’re a combination of a “country lawyer” and “Wall Street lawyer... all rolled up into one? A. Fair Statement
Q. And your community involvement on the East End? A. It started with the Episcopal Church in East Hampton in the 1980’s. For many years I was a Sunday School teacher, then a Vestry member and then led the fundraising drive for a New Parish Hall.
Q. Anything else? A. Well, then in 2002, my mother, who also lived in Sag Harbor, lost a 100-day battle with lung cancer. So I completed training to become a volunteer with East End Hospice. About 80% of their patients are there for terminal cancer.
Q. Then what? A. I asked the Hospice leaders if they ever considered helping cancer patients right after they were diagnosed… to give them a better chance, a real fighting chance, of beating the disease. But the charity just was not focused on that.
Q. So what did you do? A. I started a new nonprofit business in Sag Harbor, called “Fighting Chance.” That was 2003. I’ve served as chairman ever since and we’ve provided free-of-charge professional counseling to over 3,000 East End Residents who are newly diagnosed with cancer.
