Hi,

I'm Terry. I live in Central New Jersey with my wife Sharon. We've been married 42 years and have 2 grown sons; Bryan and Josh. We have 6 grandchildren; Alex, Ben, Sarah, Nicole, Andrew and Katelyn.

I grew up in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, NY. It was a terrific place to grow up. So many things for a young boy to do. After graduating High School I spent 4 years in the U.S. Navy. I saw a lot of the world and did a lot of growing up in those 4 years. When I got out of the Navy I went to Baruch College for many years at night until I got my degree.

I worked in the Textile Industry for 36 years, until about 4 years ago. Because of the geographical situation I found myself in, I left Bloomsburg Mills after 25 years and changed my career. I've worked hard for the last 36 years and felt it was time to wind down a bit. I am now Marketing and Public Relations Director for the Mercer County Geriatric Center. The work is rewarding and the benefits are excellent. I am close to home and commute about 20 minutes to work instead of 3 hours.


Hobbies and Pastimes: I will have plenty to do when I retire. I have several hobbies and pastimes that I enjoy in my free time. Some of them are: Spending time with my Grandchildren, Photography, Painting, Scuba Diving, Travel, Geocaching, Hiking, Gardening, Bird Watching, Woodworking, Fishing & Reading.


In July of 2007 Sharon and I went to Kenya for a 9 day safari. It was a fantastic trip. We met many interesting people and saw so many wonderful animals. You can see the photos I took at this website: Terry & Sharon's Safari


Here are a few family photos.

I painted these 3 ceiling tiles, which will be placed in the ceiling of the New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center's Pediatric Emergency Room, together with many other painted tiles.





Thanks for looking.
