Neil’s Mission
“As a Baltimore native, this city is my home, and I strive to do everything I can to make Baltimore a better place to live. Together, we can strengthen the Baltimore community, and all it has to offer!”
As a Board Chair with the Baltimore-Odessa Partnership, Neil participates in their Sister City program providing aid and support to the Jewish citizens of Odessa, Ukraine. The organization funds summer camps, JCC programs, and various other activities that teach young Jewish Ukrainians what it means to be Jewish.
Neil is passionate about helping others, in Baltimore and around the word, connect to their Jewish heritage. Over the past 20 years, the group has helped build institutions that have transformed this region in many positive ways, and Neil has visited the region first hand to get involved on a community level and learn about their challenges.
Neil loves to share his experience and work with young people. That’s why he volunteers his time as a fraternity advisor at his Alma mater, The University of Delaware.
More than experience, Neil has helped establish an endowment which will further support Alpha Epsilon Pi for years to come.
Neil sits on the boards and advisory committees of numerous local organizations
