Save Our Boatyard renews fight over Peninsula project BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

eninsula at Harbor Point is being billed as the “final piece of the puzzle” for that Stamford project. But that doesn’t mean that the final word has been heard. Save Our Boatyard, a grassroots group that has been protesting for nine

years against a variety of undertakings at the sprawling Harbor Point, is also against the Peninsula project. The group’s co-founder Maureen Boylan said it is merely the latest in a history of preferential treatments afforded developer Building and Land Technology (BLT). “They won’t contact us,” Boylan told the Business Journal, referring to both BLT and

the Stamford government. “The mayor (David Martin) flip-flopped many years ago, and now it’s all about BLT. “In my opinion, it’s the largest Ponzi scheme in the state of Connecticut.” In 2014, Martin responded favorably to a Save Our Boatyard proposal that would have centered on a replacement for Brewer’s » PENINSULA

FIRED NURSE CLAIMS ST. CABRINI NURSING HOME PATIENTS DIED BECAUSE OF UNSAFE PRACTICES BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

nurse claims that St. Cabrini Nursing Home in Dobbs Ferry fired her because she opposed a scheme to defraud Medicare and complained about unsafe practices that have resulted in the deaths of multiple patients. Cheval Smith, a registered nurse from Bridgeport, Connecticut, sued Cabrini under the federal False Claims Act, claiming retaliation, Aug. 11 in U.S. District Court, White Plains. “Ms. Smith complained about and

opposed several unlawful or unsafe practices at the nursing home,” the complaint states. “She was threatened with termination if she continued to complain about short-staffing, a practice which endangered patients’ well-being. Shortly thereafter, Ms. Smith was terminated.” Cabrini officials did not respond to emails asking for their side of the story. Cabrini is a 304bed, nonprofit facility founded in 1973 by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is named for St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the founder of the Catholic religious order who » NURSE

AKRF seeking to power up wind turbine manufacturing in Cortlandt BY PETER KATZ

he possibility of a major manufacturing plant coming to Cortlandt had been flying below the radar due in large measure to a nondisclosure agreement required by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Those competing for $220 million in funding from the state agency to build and deploy equipment for offshore wind farms were prevented from publicly discussing the project, according to one of them, AKRF Inc. AKRF is a New York City-based consulting firm that has offices in White Plains and Stamford among other cities. The firm has about 350 planners, engineers and scientists on staff who work on energy, transportation, real estate and other projects. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has committed to having New York develop offshore wind farms capable of generating 9,000 megawatts of electricity by 2035. One megawatt is enough electricity to light 10,000 100-watt light bulbs. NYSERDA is looking for contractors interested in undertaking the project and, as part of that effort, will be selecting land where the blades, turbines and other components that go into wind farms will be manufactured. It expects the fabrication facilities to be operational by 2024. New York state in July announced its second offshore wind solicitation, which would be for up to 2,500 megawatts of power. It previously had selected a joint venture known as Bay State Wind to develop two separate offshore wind-powered electric generation sites capable of producing nearly 1,700 megawatts of power. AKRF has developed a plan that would place a manufacturing plant for the wind farm components on a 54-acre site owned by the town of Cortlandt in Verplanck. Michael P. Lee, AKRF’s president, told the Business Journal, “The NDA did hamper everything that we could say. Now that we’re sort of publicly listed the town board has been getting more informa-

tion and we’re having community sessions, whatever is needed, to get the word out there.” NYSERDA wants proposals submitted in October and AKRF expects that the agency would be announcing its selection of a site in December. The proposed waterfront manufacturing site would provide access to the Hudson River. After components are fabricated at the approximately 5-acre plant, they would be loaded onto barges and then floated down the Hudson to reach a staging facility or taken directly to an offshore wind farm site for installation. The Cortlandt site is one of 11 seeking to be selected by NYSERDA. AKRF said that, in addition to the town’s 54 acres, 126 acres of adjacent properties could eventually be developed for expanded manufacturing. “With respect to the design and concepts, it’s been over a year effort on our part,” Lee said. “We’ve been doing intense designs and layouts, consultation with industry about the site.” He said that the wind farms off the Atlantic coast of Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey will consist of towers with turbine generators at the top that are about 850 feet tall, FCBJ

turned by blades that are about 350 feet long. He said that the center portion of the generating device sitting on top of a tower weighs about 500 tons. “Given the 25-year timeline and life cycle of these turbines, we see this facility, if it gets in in the beginning and becomes a hub, as being a fantastic manufacturing base for as long as I can envision,” Lee said. “This is a huge market that is happening off the Northeast coast and then industry all the time has to retool. The size of the facility and potential adjacent uses can give industry not only a very long home but also the ability to expand and create additional jobs as the demand increases.” Lee said the fabrication facility probably would be leased to one of the three major manufacturers that are leaders in the wind turbine field and the operators of the wind farms would subcontract work to that manufacturer. MHI Vestas, Siemens Gamesa and GE Renewable Energy are the major turbine manufacturers. “We’ve been working with an entity called Port Cortlandt Development, which is really a group of firms and investors that are looking to attract the indus-

try to the site,” Lee said. Wind energy developers who are expected to be operating the offshore site, include Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners/Avangrid, EDF/Shell, EDPR/Shell, Equinor, Bay State Wind and Orsted. “This is clean technology. They’re not the type of noxious or other activities that wouldn’t be able to go in this community,” Lee said. “We know people are concerned about noise and traffic and lighting and visuals. We have crafted it to minimize impact on the communities.” He said that similar facilities they have seen in Europe have about 300 employees and the plans AKRF have developed so far include about 300 parking spaces and that if Port Cortland were to have multiple fabrication contracts the number of jobs created could be in the area of 1,000. Lee said they hope the project would offset the tax losses affecting local communities as a result of the Indian Point nuclear power plant closing. “We’ve laid out that if we can continue to incrementally expand jobs and other things the goal would be to not only offset them but to have additional economic benefits associated with these jobs,” Lee said.

P.F. Chang’s cites Little Buddha competition to get out of Ridge Hill lease BY BILL HELTZEL

$57,769 in real estate taxes, fees for maintenance, and marketing and, if gross annual sales exceed nearly $6.1 million, 4% of sales. The Scottsdale, Arizona-based chain also negotiated an exclusivity covenant. So long as it remains open and operates a full-service, sit-down restaurant serving Chinese and Asian cuisine, no one else, according to the complaint, may serve Chinese or Asian food. If a tenant violates the restriction and the landlord fails to stop that tenant for more than 12 months, P.F. Chang’s may terminate the lease. P.F. Chang’s claims it has held up its part of the bargain, and last summer it invoked its exclusive covenant in a letter to Yonkers Associates, citing competition from Little Buddha. QIC, an Australian investment firm that owns Yonkers Associates, responded that a former P.F. Chang’s employee had agreed to exclude Little Buddha from the covenant. The landlord con-

F. Chang’s China Bistro, an international chain of more than 300 “authentic Asian” restaurants, is “losing customers and sales to Little Buddha” and wants out of its lease at Ridge Hill shopping center in Yonkers. Chang’s sued Yonkers Associates on Aug. 10 in Westchester Supreme Court claiming the landlord violated its exclusive rights to serve Chinese or Asian food at Ridge Hill. Little Buddha serves traditional Japanese hibachi and sushi cuisine, according to its website, as well as Pan-Asian fusion dishes. It opened in 2014, more than four years before P.F. Chang’s. P.F. Chang’s agreed in 2018 to lease more than 8,000 square feet for at least 10 years. The base annual rent now is $273,938, and the chain must also pay

ceded “there was some miscommunication” and that the understanding was not incorporated in the lease. “Little Buddha is taking customers from P.F. Chang’s,” the chain responded in a December 2019 letter, “and therefore we intend to enforce tenant’s rights and remedies.” P.F. Chang’s declared that it would pay an alternative rent, 3% of gross sales, retroactive to July 2019, until QIC enforced the covenant. QIC challenged P.F. Chang’s right to unilaterally pay a lower rent in a July 10 letter, and demanded $289,276 in back rent. The allegation that the landlord violated the exclusive covenant “is without merit,” Cleveland attorney Jared E. Oakes stated in the letter. P.F. Chang’s was aware of Little Buddha when it signed the lease, according to Oakes, and the restrictive covenant was forward looking. P.F. Chang’s chose not to negotiate

terms that included existing tenants, he stated. It has no right enforce exclusivity on a tenant that has been there for years. The fact that Little Buddha’s lease predates P.F. Chang’s lease by several years “is of no consequence,” San Francisco attorney Marco Quazzo stated on behalf of QIC in a July 27 letter to Oakes. Nothing in the lease states that exclusivity applies only to future leases. Yonkers Associates “is acting contrary to the plain language of the exclusive covenant,” Quazzo stated. P.F. Chang’s is asking Westchester Supreme Court to declare that Yonkers Associates violated its lease by continuing to lease space to Little Buddha, and to declare that the lease will terminate on Oct. 25. The lawsuit was filed for P.F. Chang’s by Quazzo and by New York attorneys Joshua H. Epstein and Allyson B. Hooper.

Judge Linda Jamieson expects more court cases in Covid aftermath BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

he Commercial Division in Westchester of the New York State Supreme Court is seeing an increase in new cases as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to Judge Linda S. Jamieson. “I have had a lot of employment restrictive covenant breaches,” she said, cases in which someone was forced to leave a business because of the pandemic’s effects and then could not work elsewhere because of a restrictive covenant in an employment contract. “Right now I think we’re going to be seeing a lot more cases coming in,” Jamieson said during a conversation with attorney Jeffrey Buss of the firm Smith Buss & Jacobs LLP that took place in the newsroom of the Business Journal. Jamieson said some of those cases already coming in involve partnerships that are breaking up, in part due to the strain of the pandemic. “There’s not the money that they had. There’s been a lot of problems in holding out as long as they can. But I try to piece them back together if we can, to get them through this terrible time for everyone. Economically, I think, if we can ride it out it will be fine, it will come back full force,” Jamieson said. Jamieson is one of two judges assigned to the court’s Commercial Division in the county. The other is Gretchen Walsh. Jamieson was elected as a justice of the Supreme Court in November 2002 and in January 2003 was sworn in. From June 1996 to January 2003 she had served in Westchester County Family Court. Jamieson received her law degree from Pace University School of Law and earned her bachelor’s degree at Hofstra University. She is admitted to practice law in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Florida and the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. Prior to her service on

the bench, she had been a trial attorney in private practice. Buss asked Jamieson about the types of cases that are heard in the commercial division in addition to civil disputes in excess of $100,000 that often involve a breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty or shareholder issues. “There are legal and accountant malpractice if it’s relating to a business transaction, so those type of cases do come in front of us,” Jamieson said. “There are also insurance cases, to determine whether or not there’s insurance. Those are going to be flooding our courts I’m sure soon. There’s shareholders’ derivatives. But, any case that involves a business tort definitely is in us. And, as I call them, business divorces. A lot of business divorces. A breakup of partnerships or dissolutions of corporations, limited liability corporations, all of those types of cases come before the court.”

When Buss asked about how the court has been functioning during the pandemic, Jamieson said that the court has been doing all of its conferences using online video. She said some hearings have been held in the courthouse. “I have limited my courtroom to eight people. That’s the only way I can socially distance everybody. We have everybody sitting in different areas and we have, of course, face masks, we have shields, we have everything and we have it sanitized,” Jamieson said. “I would say the lion’s share of the work has been online including mediation that we send people to.” Buss pointed out that many contracts contain language specifying what should be done in the event of disputes, such as a requirement for arbitration. He said that in his practice he has been recommending that people go to court rather than agree to arbitration. Jamieson said that arbitra-

tion became popular in part because the court system used to be backed up and it took such a long time for people to have their day in court. With the Commercial Division, however, cases are heard faster nowadays. Jamieson explained that it has its own rules that are separate and distinct from the rules in other parts of the court system and also has judges who have expertise in business matters. She said all she and Walsh hear are commercial cases and they move them along comparatively quickly. She suggested that the parties to a contract could, if they wished, specify in the contract that disputes be taken to the Commercial Division. Jamieson said that the court has a panel of qualified people serving as mediators that attorneys can call upon to narrow issues and possibly resolve cases before a judge steps in. Mediation can help hold down the costs far below those of arbitration. “Your honor, we have this tremendous judicial system here in the United States but is it always the best idea to run to court and fight there?” Buss asked Jamieson. “No, it’s the worst idea,” she responded. “Obviously, you’re airing your laundry in the public; it is public. We do have confidentially agreements that are sometimes signed but once you’re in court it is a public arena so everybody is seeing the laundry aired between the parties and the shareholders and the litigants. Once you are in the court system it’s not your life. You don’t control it; the court is controlling it.” Jamieson said that as the judge, she encourages the parties in a case to reach agreement and make the decision for themselves before it’s necessary for her to rule. “It’s empowering to them,” Jamieson said. “If you leave the decision up to the court you’ve lost all power so that’s part of my philosophy when I deal with people who come in front of me. I try to get the power back to them.”

HBO’s John Oliver insults Danbury on-air, Mayor Boughton dishes back FIND WHAT YOU LOVE WITH A VOICE COMMAND

Mayor Mark Boughton and John Oliver. BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

bizarre and foul-language-fueled feud has been initiated by John Oliver, host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver,” against the city of Danbury, bringing Mayor Mark Boughton into the fray. Oliver used the Aug. 16 episode of his show to highlight problems with the jury selection system. Citing Connecticut as an example, Oliver claimed residents in Hartford and New Britain were being omitted from jury duty because a computer glitch reported them as being deceased. At that point, Oliver launched into scatological denunciation of Danbury. “Cuz if you’re gonna forget a town in Connecticut, why not forget Danbury?” Oliver exclaimed. “Because, and this is true, f**k Danbury! From its charming Railway Museum to its historic Hearthstone Castle, Danbury

Connecticut can eat my whole a**. I know exactly three things about Danbury: USA Today ranked it the second-best city to live in, in 2015; it was once the center of the American hat industry; and, if you’re from there, you’ve got a standing invite to come get a thrashing from John Oliver, children included. F**k you!” Oliver had previously insulted Danbury in 2017 when Boughton produced a video that offered the city as the site of Amazon’s second headquarters complex — that effort fell short, but in June Amazon chose Danbury as the site of a new last-mile distribution complex. Boughton responded to Oliver’s insults via Twitter, retweeting an unflattering childhood portrait of Oliver while offering a bare-knuckles invitation to the comic. “Hey @iamjohnoliver don’t worry, we are working on some Danbury payback for you,” Boughton tweeted. “Oh, and I will not hesitate to throw the hands. #bringit” To be continued…

Peninsula—

Yacht Haven, then touted as the largest working boatyard in the Northeast. Fourteen Brewer’s buildings were razed in 2011 by BLT as part of a state-mandated remediation effort. Martin, however, ultimately went with a BLT plan rather than Save Our Boatyard’s proposal. The original idea was to replace the boatyard with a full-service marina, but in the ensuing years those plans have metamorphosed, culminating in BLT’s Peninsula announcement last month. Real estate firms Cushman & Wakefield and Binswanger have begun marketing Peninsula at Harbor Point, described as “a 14-acre waterfront development opportunity within a master-planned, mixed-use community. The one-of-a-kind site is available immediately for the development of up to 1 million square feet and has an existing 500,000-square-foot office space available for use adjacent to the site.” ‘That history is gone and never coming back’ The Peninsula project, Save Our Boatyard says, is not only objectionable — it’s also borderline illegal. At least some of the Brewer’s Yacht Haven buildings that were demolished “went back over 100 years,” said the group’s co-founder Randy Dinter. “They were of historical significance, but mysteriously a brick building caught 1

The nursing home is rated below average on health inspections and on staffing, by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, based on an April 2019 analysis, but it is rated much above average on overall quality measures. Smith has worked as a registered nurse since 2010, according to the complaint, and was hired by Cabrini as a nurse manager in 2018. She claims that nebulization treatments, by which patients inhale medicines that have been turned into aerosols, were administered by licensed practical nurses instead of by RNs, as required by federal regulations. In 2018, she was allegedly told to certify that she had per-

fire during a thunderstorm, and everything had to be taken down, according to BLT. So that history is all gone and it’s never coming back.” Both co-founders pointed out that Stamford has had a long maritime history — a rendering of a galleon-style ship sits atop its official seal — and that Brewer’s Yacht Haven had at the time of its demolition been the only one in the area to offer a full range of services, including fuel docks and more than 350 slips. The peninsula’s complicated history predates the Martin administration and has involved such players as Antares Investment Partners — which planned the development before handing it over to BLT in 2008 — former Gov. Dannel Malloy and Ray Dalio’s hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, which flirted with (and, partly because of the bad publicity, ultimately

backed out of ) relocating to the peninsula from Westport. Boylan, who takes some credit for convincing Bridgewater to keep out, said that Stamford having taken in nearly $20 million in fees and conveyance taxes, and another $100 million in property taxes, from the entire Harbor Point development proves that BLT can do whatever it wants with the peninsula. Harbor Point is a 100-acre mixed-use, master-planned, waterfront community immediately south of Stamford’s central business district. It has more than 25 acres of public parks and more than 3,400 apartments with an additional 600plus underway, along with office spaces, restaurants, health and wellness shops, fitness studios, marinas and waterfront activities as well as a mile-long waterfront boardwalk. While Harbor Point has

included the Hinckley Boat Yard since 2018, it is considerably smaller than the old Brewer’s. Not only that, Boylan said, BLT has yet to make good on its promise to build a boat storage facility on Magee Avenue, which was supposed to take place that same year. The city approval “remains valid and a start date for the 205 Magee portion has not been set,” BLT co-President Ted Ferrarone told the Business Journal. “Note that the full-service Hinckley Boatyard at Harbor Landing has been open since the summer of 2018, providing world-class service to area boaters.” Ferrarone also rebutted Save Our Boatyard’s other major objections, including its position that the 14-acre Peninsula site is only zoned as a working boatyard, meaning that no commercialization is allowed. “The property is in the SRD-S zone — Mixed use and went through an extensive city approval process,” he said. “The Peninsula site is specifically approved for office, retail, parking, public access, marina and other water-dependent uses.” As for Save Our Boatyard’s contention that the site is only a water-dependent usage site, which will further complicate or delay the Peninsula project, Ferrarone countered: “The parcel was approved by the Stamford Planning and Zoning Board for office and retail use. Future development designs will take into account all the benefits and lim-

itations of a waterfront site.” In making July’s Peninsula marketing announcement, BLT Chairman Carl Kuehner said: “We have been rapidly developing Harbor Point for the last 12 years, transforming the former industrial area into a vibrant live-work-play master planned community and creating a thriving ecosystem for residents and businesses. We are excited to see this premier site, the final piece of the puzzle for Harbor Point, come to life.” Positive comments by Martin and Gov. Ned Lamont were included in the July announcement — further indication, Boylan said, that while you may not be able to fight City Hall, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. “I don’t know of any private shipyard that can get the kind of help that it does,” she said, pledging to continue to voice Save Our Boatyard’s objections to anyone who will listen. Meanwhile, Ferrarone said that the planned Peninsula project will be an important addition not just to Harbor Point, but to the area at large. “The Peninsula site comes to market at a pivotal time for the state of Connecticut, as corporations and people alike see the benefits that the city of Stamford and state of Connecticut have to offer,” he said. “The site has the potential to yield tremendous economic growth for our state and provide limitless opportunities to for businesses to achieve their success.”

formed a nebulization treatment. She refused, believing to do so was illegal, but relented when she was told “she would have to make these false certifications in order to keep her job.” Shortly before she was fired on April 16, she was disciplined for failing to sign nebulization paperwork, the complaint states. When she was fired, Wynona Josephs, the director of nursing, allegedly mentioned her failure to sign the paperwork as a factor in the termination. Smith connects the alleged nebulizer practices to staffing. Instead of two LPNs per nursing home unit, Cabrini assigned one per unit plus a second LPN to “float” between two units on a single shift. She claims that she complained that short-staffing endangered patients. As the Covid-19

crisis developed, according to the complaint, “this floating arrangement became even more dangerous,” risking spread of the disease from unit to unit. She also alleges that Cabrini provided insufficient personal protective equipment, did not require staff to change PPE between patient interactions, and declined her request to use disposable trays instead of reusable trays. “Failing to adequately protect the safety and health of the patients and staff,” the lawsuit states, “resulted in spread of the virus through the facility and the deaths of multiple residents.” The complaint does not quantify how many Cabrini patients have been infected or killed by Covid-19. Smith also claims that Cabrini solicited Medicare patients to

become members of a health insurance plan operated by ArchCare, an affiliate of the Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Cabrini staff were allegedly instructed to consult with and defer to an ArchCare nurse practitioner assigned to Cabrini. The nurse practitioner “generally refused” to approve hospitalizations of seriously ill patients, the complaint states. When the nurse practitioner declined to authorize hospitalization for one of Smith’s patients, Smith contacted the doctor on call, who “learning of the situation, ordered that the patient be hospitalized.” Smith says she was reprimanded for circumventing the ArchCare employee. In April, the ArchCare employee allegedly prescribed

hydroxychloroquine for a patient who was symptomatic for Covid19, but did not get a baseline EKG test to check for potential cardiac complications associated with the drug. Smith confronted the nurse practitioner at a staff meeting, according to the complaint, and accused her of acting unethically and unsafely. The nurse practitioner complained to Josephs, the director of nursing, and several days later Josephs fired Smith. Josephs, along with the unidentified nurse practitioner and ArchCare are not named as defendants. Smith is demanding that she be reinstated on her job with back pay and is asking for damages for emotional distress. She is represented by Manhattan attorneys Jason L. Solotaroff and Amy Robinson.

National News Postmaster general asserts election mail will be delivered on time BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

ithout actually admitting that anything was going on to interfere with voting by mail in the upcoming November election, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy issued a statement Aug. 18 saying that the agency is putting a halt to all of the measures he put into place that have slowed the mail and threatened to cripple the postal service’s ability to handle a flood of mail-in ballots for the November election. A furor erupted when it was discovered that changes ordered by DeJoy have resulted in delays in mail delivery around the country with first class and other classes of mail including packages being left to pile up for days at a time in mail-sorting centers. There were allegations that DeJoy and President Trump were working to sabotage the U.S. Postal Service in advance of the November election.

High-speed sorting machines had already been removed from service at some postal sectional centers, with plans existing for between 500 and 800 of the machines to be removed nationally, according to a Business Journal source. A USPS spokesman responded to inquiries from the Business Journal seeking details of possible impacts from DeJoy’s orders on operations at the sectional center on Westchester Avenue in White Plains that handles mail for Westchester and other counties in the lower Hudson Valley by saying, “To ensure the public receives consistent and accurate information, we are currently deferring any questions and relying solely on the Postmaster General’s Aug. 18th statement.” DeJoy, a Trump supporter, has been a major Republican donor, a former deputy Republican National Committee finance chair and a local finance chair for the 2020 Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. He became postmaster general in June.

In an interview on Fox Business News last week, Trump admitted that he was stalling relief funding for the USPS because “they need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots.” “The Postal Service is ready today to handle whatever volume of election mail it receives this fall. Even with the challenges of keeping our employees and customers safe and healthy as they operate amid a pandemic, we will deliver the nation’s election mail on time and within our well-established service standards,” DeJoy said. In his statement, DeJoy said he was expanding a task force on election mail to better work with state and local election officials. He said postal unions have agreed to join the task force. DeJoy pledged to roll back changes he ordered so that: • Retail hours at post offices will not change; • Mail processing equipment and blue mail collection boxes will remain

where they are; • No mail processing facilities will be closed; and • Overtime has, and will continue to be, approved as needed. “In addition, effective Oct. 1, we will engage standby resources in all areas of our operations, including transportation, to satisfy any unforeseen demand,” DeJoy said. “I am grateful for the commitment and dedication of all the men and women of the Postal Service, and the trust they earn from the American public every day, especially as we continue to contend with the impacts of Covid-19. As we move forward, they will have the full support of our organization throughout the election,” DeJoy’s statement concluded. DeJoy was scheduled to testify before the Republican-controlled Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Aug. 21 and the Democrat-controlled House Oversight Committee on Aug. 24.

Suite Talk Suite Talk: Robert G. Russell Jr., president and CEO of Patriot Bank

ast month, Robert G. Russell Jr. became president and CEO of Stamford-headquartered Patriot Bank N.A. and its parent company, Patriot National Bancorp Inc. Russell arrived at Patriot after previously serving as executive vice president and chief operating officer at Millington Bank and president and CEO of NJM Bank, a pair of community banking institutions in New Jersey. In this edition of Suite Talk, Business Journal Senior Enterprise Editor Phil Hall speaks with Russell about his arrival in the Fairfield County and Westchester market and his plans for Patriot. Congratulations on your new job. Why did you decide to pursue this opportunity? “Patriot was attractive from a franchise perspective and from its great community. It has a very strong branch

network and that was mostly what attracted me. “Community banking in New Jersey is getting to be a smaller and smaller community. So, when I had the opportunity to look at what Patriot had to offer, it was very exciting to me.” How would you categorize the state of banking in Connecticut? “It is relatively new to me and it does seem to be competitive. Each of the banks that I’ve seen in our local market area are very focused and mindful to be a strong part of the community they serve. It is a little bit different in New Jersey, where we have much bigger organizations. And although they do make significant contributions to their communities, I don’t think they’re quite as involved as the community banks that I see here, especially in the Stamford area.”

“We’re continuing to evaluate the appropriate time to reopen the lobbies. We are trying to keep in step with the local school districts and municipalities. The last thing we want to do is reopen and then close the lobbies again.”

Now that you’re here in Connecticut and at the helm of Patriot, what are your immediate priorities for the bank? “Well, really just working and building on some of the strong foundations that they’ve already put in place. Our Chief Compliance and Risk Officer Judith Corprew has a very strong relationship with a number of organizations within the Stamford community, and we certainly want to maintain those. “We also want to re-establish ourselves as a business leader. And as we all navigate through the difficult times of the pandemic, we want to be mindful of our customers’ needs, as well as the needs of our employees. The bank is working with customers who might be facing economic turmoil based on the coronavirus pandemic, and our loan department has tried to find a solution that suits their needs.” Speaking of the pandemic, are Patriot’s branches now open or are some of them still closed because of the ongoing public health crisis? “In all of our branches, the lobbies have remained closed at this point in time. But the branches are opening and functioning with drive-up and can arrange for banking by appointment. If a customer does need to come into the lobby, we just ask that they call ahead so we can be prepared with what their needs are.

What do you see as the future of branch banking? A lot of people in the financial services world have been predicting that we’re going to be seeing fewer and fewer branches as more people do their banking online. “It’s funny, I’ve heard about the demise of brick and mortar probably for close to 30 years and yet people still seem to use the branches. I think there always will be a need for human interaction from a customer standpoint. There are just certain things that can’t be done online conveniently and our business is built on trust. “I think there’s always going to be an element of that relationship that requires an in-person interaction, although I think branches will continue to get smaller in size. I don’t think we need the grand buildings of the past, but we need a presence to interact with our customers on a personal level.” Patriot Bank is primarily in Fairfield County, as well as in the towns of Milford and Orange cross the border in New Haven County and in Scarsdale, New York. Do you have plans to open additional branches either in Fairfield County or elsewhere in Connecticut or Westchester? “Being relatively new to the organization, it’s not something that I’ve discussed with the board at this point. But I think it would be fair to say if there is an opportunity for us to expand our network in something that fits both the bank and the community, we would certainly be in favor of it.” If we were to pick up this conversation one year from now, where do you see yourself and Patriot Bank at that time? “One year from now, I would hope that Patriot has grown as an organization. We want to invest in our people, as well as our customers and show that we are an efficient and profitable organization.”

Female job-holders hit harder by pandemic than male counterparts BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

all it the Great Shecession. While Covid-19 has wreaked havoc not only with millions of Americans’ lives — there were more than 173,000 deaths as of Aug. 18 — and the country’s economy, data shows that it has had a much more severe impact on the nation’s female workers than it has on their male counterparts. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women lost almost 11 million jobs via layoffs or furloughs between February and May. Although 2.9 million of those jobs were regained in June, many of them are in the hospitality sector — one of the most suscepti-

ble to the changes in consumer behavior during the Covid era. The situation in Connecticut has been no better. When the economic effects of the pandemic were first seen by the state’s Department of Labor — during the week of March 15 — 50,109 females filed for unemployment, compared with 28,464 males. The week of March 22 found 39,331 females and 32,101 males filling; and the week of March 29 it was 32,753 women against 27,158 men. Since then, with some exceptions, the female numbers are higher than male figures. In addition, although women make up just under half of the U.S. workforce, they represent nearly two-thirds of the workforce in the 40 lowest-paying jobs, according

Fran Pastore

to a report by the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC). “In 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic unfolds, it is these women and their families who are likely to be hit first and

hardest by the recession that is sure to follow,” it predicted. “Women are typically in the types of jobs that have been the most hard hit,” affirmed Fran Pastore, president and FCBJ

WCBJ

CEO of the Woman’s Business Development Council (WBDC) in Stamford. In addition to hospitality, she cited the childcare, home health care, restaurant and entertainment sectors, “where the biggest numbers of businesses are struggling to come back.” Further complicating the situation is that “We continue to live in an environment where women with small children work, but they still have the prime responsibility for home life,” said Amanda Moras, an associate professor of sociology and the assistant dean of student success for Sacred Heart University’s College of Arts and Sciences. “So they really have two jobs — it’s just that the work at home is unpaid,” Moras » PANDEMIC AUGUST 24, 2020

Pandemic—

said. “And employers know this. Women are often treated as a liability in the workplace. Since they’re the ones usually responsible for their children and families — and kids do get sick — they get treated as ‘unreliable.’” Although f lextime and, especially with the coronavirus, working from home options have become more acceptable even before the pandemic, Moras said women are still getting short shrift. More employers “need to stop scheduling meetings and start scheduling deadlines,” she said. “Female employees may not have three hours to sit in a meeting, but they can log out at 3:30 or 4 to get ready for the kids coming home from school and their husband returning from work, and then go back online afterward.”

GENDER PAY GAP EVEN WORSE FOR MINORITIES

The gender pay gap of course is nothing new, Moras said, though it should still be sobering. According to the most recent Census Bureau data, in 2018 women earned on average 82 cents for every $1 earned by men. However, those figures nosedive when one drills down to ethnicity: Black women earned 62 cents, while Hispanic/Latinos earned just 54 cents. “Black women and Latinas continue to be hit hard by the economic crisis,” the NWLC announced earlier this month. “While the overall unemployment rate dropped to 10.2% in July, almost one in seven Black women (13.5%) an Latinas (14%) remained unemployed.” Pastore said she is all too aware of the situation, noting that many of Connecticut’s roughly 4,500 childcare facilities are home-based and run by women of color. “Those businesses have been very much affected by the Covid crisis,” she said. “Many of them were already operating on thin margins,

AUGUST 24, 2020

and many have closed down for good.” As of July 31, less than 48% of Connecticut’s licensed childcare programs were open. Those that remain open, face the challenge of working within reduced group-size restrictions. Along with increased cleaning supply and PPE costs, Pastore said, leave the state in an unhappy situation where there already was a shortage of about 52,000 childcare slots. “With schools closed, it’s not just a matter of missed educational opportunities, but ‘What the hell do I do with my kid?’” Moras said. “We don’t have universal childcare like some other countries do.” The WBDC announced on Aug. 13 a new partnership with the state Office of Early Childhood. The agency’s CTCARES for Child Care Businesses program is designed to address immediate, short term, and longer term opportunities to stabilize programs and grow capacity through funding, training, and technical assistance. The WBDC is weaving business best practices throughout the program to ensure that those businesses have free access to business experts and individualized support. “These are unprecedented and hazardous times for the childcare industry,” said OEC Commissioner Beth Bye. “This WBDC partnership, along with our regional accreditation projects, and regional family child care network support, creates an infrastructure to help early childhood programs survive and thrive for children and families in Connecticut.” “The goal,” Pastore said, “is to help those businesses not only survive, but thrive.” The WBDC is also helping business owners pivot where possible to take advantage of the new realities. As an example, Pastore said restaurants and food trucks could explore refocusing their efforts on catering as the pandemic continues to last. The organization helped more than 3,500 people with FCBJ

WCBJ

“every single aspect of business development” during the first 13 weeks of the crisis — four times the number of people it normally sees over a given 12-month period, Pastore said. “We’ve seen it all and done it all.” As for the jobs that have been lost, Moras said she wasn’t sure if the majority of them would be coming back. “When you’re looking at the service industry, tourism and the like, I just don’t know,” she said. “For married heterosexual couples, it’s tough to say,

‘Maybe we can both work part time and take care of the kids that way,’ when you can only get health benefits if you’re full time. Then it becomes a question of, ‘One of us needs to significantly cut our hours or leave our job entirely,’ and you’re ultimately going to choose the person who makes less money — who’s often the wife. “It’s a cyclical thing,” Moras continued, “and (the gender-based pay gap) just exacerbates it.” Asked what she advises her

students as they start thinking about jobs post-graduation, Moras said that — in addition to hoping that the Covid crisis is solved soon — the value of a liberal arts education is that it helps hone a number of skills. “We like to say that we’re not prepping you for your first job, but for your 10th job,” she said. “A lot of the jobs in 20 years probably don’t even exist right now, given how technology keeps evolving. A year ago, could anyone imagine that telehealth would be as big as it is now?”

DOUGLAS ELLIMAN LAUNCHES TEAM IN CONNECTICUT AND WESTCHESTER

Nancy Strong, Scott Elwell and Stacey Oestreich.

Douglas Elliman, one of the largest brokerages in the New York metropolitan area, recently added a partner to its Strong Oestreich Elwell Team, which will expand in Connecticut. The Strong Oestreich Elwell Team at Douglas Elliman was co-founded by Nancy Strong and Stacey Oestreich in 2014 and consists of six team members, including Jeffrey Hoffmann, Kat Tambor and Chris van Schaften. Scott Elwell is the latest addition to the team and joins as partner. “We are very happy to welcome Scott to our team,” Strong said. “Scott brings a lot to the table for us. His tenure in the industry paired with his experience overseeing Westchester and New England for Douglas Elliman allows him to offer our clients a ‘big picture’ sales experience.” Previously, Elwell served as regional vice president of sales at Douglas Elliman, where he helped set up an operation that allowed agents the flexibility to serve whichever communities they so choose without the constraints of exclusive contracts. He plans to bring this same ideology to the new Strong Oestreich Elwell Team,

founder of Hudson River Healthcare. In 1975, she and three other African-American women known as the founding mothers worked with the community to start a health center to address the desperate shortage of accessible, affordable and quality health care services in their city. Forty-five years later, that health center has grown into Hudson River Healthcare, the largest network of federally qualified community health centers in New York state and third largest in the U.S. Today, it provides services to more than 245,000 patients each year at 43 locations across the Hudson Valley, Long Island and all five boroughs of New York City. “The Rev. Mrs. Jeannette J. Phillips is directly responsible for giving generations of New Yorkers access to critical health services that they otherwise would not have. She paved the way for many community-based health care leaders and is a prime example of the power of fortitude, service and advocacy. We are so grateful to Congresswoman Lowey for recognizing Reverend Phillips and celebrating her legacy,” said Anne Kauffman-Nolon, CEO of Hudson River Healthcare.

Pace University’s Pleasantville campus has become certified as an affiliate of the Bee Campus USA program, which is an initiative of the Xerces Society of Invertebrate Conservation based in Portland, Oregon. The organization raises awareness of the role pollinators play in communities and encourages participants to enhance their habitats and educate students, staff and faculty. More than 150 food crops in the U.S. depend on pollinators, including blueberries, apples, squash, strawberries and almonds. “Becoming a Bee Campus is important to Pace as it shows our commitment to creating a sustainable campus that will function both as a healthy ecosystem for native plants and animals and as a living laboratory for students,” said Dyson College of Arts and Sciences Associate Professor Michael J. Rubbo. Ryan McEnany, Pace University’s director of energy and resiliency said, “The Bee Campus USA designation is significant because it brings attention to the fact that pollinator populations have been in decline. This extends further than the colony collapse disorder in honeybee populations and is also affecting local bees, butterflies and other organisms that help create fruits, flowers and other plant life. On a global level, 33 percent of the food we eat is made possible by insect pollinators and 90 percent of wild plants and flowers need polli-

nators for survival.” The designation also comes at a time when a group of Pace University communication studies students are filming a documentary titled “Bee Aware,” which focuses on the importance of bees and the role they play around the globe. They will work on the documentary through the summer and expect it will be completed in the fall.

CLC LOCATIONS REOPEN

Children in a CLC classroom.

Children’s Learning Centers of Fairfield County (CLC), the second-largest center-based early childhood education nonprofit in Connecticut, has reopened all of its eight locations to serve 380 children, which enable nearly 500 parents to go back to work. The organization has implemented new measures to create the safest environment possible, including daily health screening and temperature checks for children and staff; placing classrooms in cohorts to limit interaction with other children and staff; increased standards for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfection; and implementing social distancing practices. CLC will continue to provide remote learning and support services to children who can’t join classrooms. “Throughout the pandemic, CLC has been providing remote support to enrolled families, but for months we have strived to reopen to provide reliable and safe early childhood education and care that enables parents to return to work,” said CLC Chief Executive Officer Marc Jaffe. “CLC educates and cares for 950 children a day, 10 hours a day, 51 weeks a year. It is the largest food provider to young children in southwest Connecticut, serving nearly one-half million meals and snacks a year,” he said.”

million donation to Habitat for Humanity International for building, renovating and repairing more than 350 affordable homes across the United States. The program, Wells Fargo Builds, is part of the foundation’s $1 billion commitment to create more affordable housing by 2025. “We’ve had a rich history of working with Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County to strengthen our neighborhoods through philanthropy and volunteerism,” said Kimberly Chamberlain, Wells Fargo’s Fairfield north regional district manager. “Safe and stable housing enables people to build upon the rest of their life and, together, we can shift the narrative to help others understand that housing affordability is both an economic and humanitarian crisis that’s taking a toll on millions of people.” The grant will support the construction of two Habitat homes in Bridgeport at 28 Hastings St. and 171 Wessels Ave.

LIONESS, INC.

Seeing wild animals display affection strikes a chord with us humans. We’ve been there. We’ve done that. Given the harsh environment and everyday struggle to survive in the wild, we are surprised to see glimpses of human behavior in their actions. This cub, in stride, reached up and leaned into his mother, looking for assurance. Solidarity is how they have always survived. Lions are the laziest of the big cats, often spending most of the day sleeping or resting. While lazing around, they can be very affectionate towards one another. While a group of people connected to one another is called a tribe, a group of fish is called a school and a group of owls is called a parliament, a group of lions is collectively called a pride because of their stately quality. Lions are the only cats that live in these social groups called prides. Family units may contain as many as 40 lions, including up to four males, who are responsible for protecting the pride, and a dozen females. All of a pride’s lionesses are related and will mate at approximately the same time. After a gestation period of about 110 days, the females gives birth to 1 to 4 cubs, weighing only 2 to 4 pounds. The cubs are then raised together, sometimes nursing communally. While the image of male lion superiority is ubiquitous in the world, the truth is that the females are the leaders of the pride and its primary hunters. Males rarely participate in hunting unless they are needed. Females fiercely defend their cubs, and while males tolerate them, they don’t always defend them. With high mortality

rates, about 80% of cubs will not survive until adulthood, but those that do may live to be 10 to 14 years of age. Helping humans learn how to live with lions is key to ensuring their survival. In northern Kenya, Samburu warriors, women and children with important local knowledge of wildlife issues are trained to collect data on wildlife sightings and respond to community issues like livestock depredation. In exchange, they receive educational lessons and a leadership role in their communities, creating a network of wildlife ambassadors. Some conservation organizations pay farmers to replace their livestock that have been taken by lions. There are so many fascinating things to discover about lions and all the other creatures that can be found on safari with John Rizzo’s Africa Photo Tours. It’s an unforgettable trip filled with lions, elephants, leopards, zebras and rhinos — all waiting to be discovered by you! Rizzo, an award-winning photographer, leads a team of experienced guides, specializing in safari and tribal tours within East Africa – Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia. His experienced team brings an intimate group of guests of all ages to see the “Big Five” (buffalos, elephants, lions leopards and rhinoceroses) as well as visit with the Maasai, Samburu and Turkana people. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. For more, visit africaphototours.com

What’s your one guilty pleasure? I am a big fan of Broadway musicals.

What is your most cherished hobby? Skiing. Ever since I was a little kid. Nothing beats the fresh mountain air and the freedom of flying down the mountain.

What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? The best business or personal advice I have ever been offered is that growth and comfort cannot coexist. To grow in life or professionally we must embrace discomfort and take risks. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years, I see myself being a part of the executive leadership team at Andrus and working alongside leaders to expand, grow and diversify programming, increasing our reach in communities and increasing the number of families served, while keeping quality and innovation at the forefront. What is the most exotic place you’ve ever traveled? The most exotic placed I have ever traveled to is Peru. We stayed on the mountain side, explored Machu Pichu, and hiked an ancient trail.

S4 | WESTCHESTER COUNTY 40UNDER40 | 2020

How would you describe yourself in three words? Passionate. Compassionate. Determined. Name one habit of a highly successful person. The habit of executing plans. Why is the Business Council so important to Westchester County’s economy? The Business Council is important to Westchester County’s economy because it provides huge amounts of resources to local businesses. This drives the success rate of these businesses and leads to a more thriving economy but more importantly, to stronger and healthier communities.

What is your definition of success? To me, success is the result of following a disciplined process. If you are sincere in giving maximum effort, the result will always be a success regardless of outcome. Even failure presents a learning opportunity for those who believe in what they are doing. What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? Be yourself, stay true to your convictions and do not be afraid to fail. Ensure that when you fail, you fail fast and learn. Taking calculated risks is what will propel you towards success.

What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession? Seeing improvements in patients’ pain and quality of life after surgery. What is your anticipated legacy? To make a positive difference in my community by helping people live more fulfilled lives and also teaching my children how to do the same.

Name one habit of a highly success person. One habit of highly successful people is they prefer to develop relationships among positive and motivated people, and try their best to limit exposure to negative people because of the belief that it can create a negative impact on themselves. Provide one networking tip. Always smile, do not be timid, ask questions, be part the conversation and always remember to follow up. These are my networking tips. What is your favorite inspirational quote? “Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”

S6 | WESTCHESTER COUNTY 40UNDER40 | 2020

Who would play you, in a screen play of your life? Jason Statham. Everyone says we look alike minus the six-pack abs. Provide one business tip that has helped in your success. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Who is your business/personal mentor? Please explain. Robert Glazer, CEO of ENTA. We have worked side by side for 14plus years at ENTA and Bob is the best there is. Bob has taught me to maximize opportunities to leverage key relationships.

What is your most cherished hobby? Backpacking. There is nothing simpler than carrying what you need on your back and setting off on a trail with beautiful space for thoughts and no concerns of interruptions. You hike, think, eat, sleep and do it again the next day. What is the most exotic place you’ve ever traveled? Growing up in a U.S. Navy family, I was fortunate to travel to unique areas of the world. But my biggest adventure was travelling to Moscow and Saint Petersburg as part of an international college group – I knew no one in the group. It was a reminder of the independence I gained from growing up in a military family. What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? Use your resources. Do not try to do everything yourself. Colin Powell once said, “The day your staff stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.”

What is your anticipated legacy? I want my legacy to be seen through the lives I have positively impacted personally and professionally. The legacy will be my impact carrying on to many generations. What’s your favorite inspirational quote? “It’s not what happens to you, it’s how you react to it that matters,” Epicticus. It speaks to tenacity and resilience and that’s how a successful person makes an impact. What’s your favorite TV program? I enjoy watching “Amazing Race.” Because I love to travel, watching the various teams travel around the world and compete in various cultural challenges is thrilling.

S8 | WESTCHESTER COUNTY 40UNDER40 | 2020

If you won $20 million in the lottery, what would you do with the money? Donate a sizable portion of it to public schools. They are widely underfunded across the country. Teachers do a lot with very little and all kids deserve a high-quality education. What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? Bring the joy into the classroom daily. If you are excited, the students will be excited. I try to bring that energy into everything that I do in and out of the classroom. What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession/industry? The students. They continually teach me so much. The hardest thing about distance learning in the Covid era is not being able to see the kids daily.

What is the last book you have read? I read approximately 50 books a year, give or take. The last book I read is “How to Be an Anti-Racist” by Ibram X. Kendi. I encourage everyone to be enlightened by this book. It is the right book for right now – especially if it does not immediately appeal to you. What is your most cherished hobby? I love fatherhood. I like sharing my interests with my son and learning his as he discovers them. It is an incredible journey. I just really love being a dad. What is your definition of success? Success, to me, is seeing just how many people I can bring up with me and then offering a hand-up to one more.

What is the last book you read? “Wine Folly: The Essential Guide to Wine” by Madeline Puckette and Justin Hammack. When I started looking for a new book to read, the search all revolved around food somehow. So, I actually bought a book about cheese-making as well as this wine book. I bought both of them and decided that even though we were quarantined, the cheese-making was way too much of an activity. Now, reading about different wines from around the world and putting gears in motion to someday visit wineries to taste these wines, seemed such a good feel book in these times. What is your favorite TV Program? There are so many awesome TV shows, but the one that I absolutely loved watching was “Suits.” It’s absolutely brilliant and it turns a topic like lawsuits into falling in love with each one of the characters. We all need a Harvey and Donna in our lives (by the way). Provide one business tip that has helped in your success? I always say that in any situation you should always choose to ask for what you want. So, ask for that raise, or ask for that promotion or ask for that meeting etc. Just ask, because the chances of you getting a yes right away increase by 50% and that’s a return of investment anyone would take. And if the answer is still no after you ask, oh well, you already started with the no anyway. No loss there.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? This will likely be longer than 10 years, but my long-term goals include producing theater. Post health crisis, we will long for the magic of witnessing live performance and I want to contribute to how the next generation of theater manifests itself. Name one habit of a highly successful person. Helping others succeed and providing opportunities for all to rise. Provide one business tip that has helped in your success. In the earliest part of my career I was fortunate to receive leadership training at GE’s famed Crotonville campus. GE believes that exposing leaders across industries, in the same discipline, creates innovative, growthoriented leaders. I wholeheartedly believe in this philosophy and have practiced it. Some of the best work I’ve done was informed by ideas from another industry.

S10 | WESTCHESTER COUNTY 40UNDER40 | 2020

If you could have lunch with one historic figure, who would it be? If given the opportunity to have lunch with one historic figure, I would want to share a meal with Pope John Paul II. The Pope’s ability to travel to so many countries and impact so many lives had always been something I admired growing up.

What is your most cherished hobby? From a young age, I’ve always enjoyed the competition and pursuit of perfection that bowling provides, whether in youth leagues, high school/college competitions, adult leagues and individual/team tournaments.

Why is the Business Council so important to Westchester County’s economy? In recent months, the world has been reminded of how challenging life can be. Whether it is navigating the impacts of Covid-19 or pushing for social and racial equality, it is important for groups like the BCW to be available in our community to help bring people together, connect businesses and provide support and resources to keep Westchester County a vibrant and successful place for all for generations to come.

What is the last book you read? “When Genius Failed” by Roger Lowenstein, a fascinating look at how scientific investing and financial derivatives resulted in the collapse and bailout of a hedge fund in the ‘90s.

What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession/industry? Working in real estate development is very rewarding and it is wonderful to see the vision for a project come to life and be built. But what I enjoy most is creating community and being able to witness people moving into our residential buildings and taking advantage of what living in this part of the country has to offer. I get to play a small role in creating someone’s home, and it’s extremely fulfilling.

Provide one example from your educational experience that has led to your business success. High school accounting class taught me that fear of public speaking is mitigated by passion for the subject, effective preparation of the material and understanding your audience.

What’s your one guilty pleasure? My one guilty pleasure is having some ice cream. I skip dinner, midday snacks to have my one scoop of ice cream every day.

What is your favorite TV program? My favorite TV program is “Top Chef” on Bravo. I watched all the original episodes and have re-watched all 17 seasons.

Provide one business tip that has helped in your success. Be honest, upfront and always deliver on your promise.

What is your definition of success? My definition of success is having my work life and home life in harmony. I want to be able to look back at my life and be proud of my actions and choices. Success means always learning and recovering from failures with grace.

What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? A satisfied customer is the best business strategy of all.

What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession/industry? Glue manufacturing may seem rather straight forward, but we actually help so many people solve problems and channel creativity. Our industrial adhesives go on various substrates in aerospace and defense, electric vehicles, screen printed labels and more. It’s really interesting to work with engineers to help solve their issues. Our consumer adhesives are used in so many creative projects and I love seeing what people can make.

S12 | WESTCHESTER COUNTY 40UNDER40 | 2020

What’s your one guilty pleasure? I played a lot of computer games as a teenager and I still do when I have the time. By playing the same online games, my college friends and I stay in touch with each other. Who is the most important person in your life? My father had a profound influence on who I am today in how I approach my life . He is an academic electrical engineer who contributed significantly to the Korean electronics industry. By nurturing a strong academia-industry collaboration, he has translated many of his research into products made by Samsung and LG. Growing up, I would visit his research laboratory and see prototypes of future technologies several years before they became real-life products. Provide one business tip that has helped in your success. I was lucky to have the chance to have dinner with John Abele (cofounder of Boston Scientific) and learned one important lesson from him. He advised me to “always ask the question ‘what should we do?,’ rather than asking ‘what can we do?’”

Name one habit of a highly successful person: Be intentional with your time. Actively setting aside 30 minutes every morning for e-mails or making time to bake cookies – small things add up and lead to greater success and happiness at work and home. What’s your one guilty pleasure? Any sweets – pie, cake, ice cream. Love it all. Provide one networking tip. Introduce yourself to a stranger. Many of the important steps in my career were helped by friendships I helped cultivate outside of my comfort zone.

How would you describe yourself in three words? Opinionated. Passionate. Optimistic.

Name one of your unusual talents. One of my unusual talents is that I can sing the alphabet backwards.

What is your anticipated legacy? My anticipated legacy is that I dedicated my life to making the world a better place than how I found it.

What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? The best business and personal advice I have been given is that integrity is perhaps the most important trait a person can have.

What is your definition of success? “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do and liking how you do it,” Maya Angelou.

What is your favorite inspirational quote? My favorite inspirational quote is, “It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes it great.”

What is your most cherished hobby? Cooking and video games are my two most cherished hobbies. Working and studying occupies most of my time, so these hobbies help me relax and unwind after long and/or stressful days. Name one habit of a highly successful person. Remaining calm in high stress or tense situations is a habit of a highly successful person. In a professional application, this allows you to make appropriate decisions and take appropriate actions where others may have their judgment clouded by emotion. What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession/industry? What I enjoy most about property management is problem solving. There is never a shortage of unique challenges and situations that need resolution. No two days are identical and that keeps me engaged.

S14 | WESTCHESTER COUNTY 40UNDER40 | 2020

If you could have lunch with one historic figure, who would it be? I would have liked to have lunch with Albert Einstein so that he could explain to me his theory on how the universe works –– on the very off chance that I would be able to understand it. What is your favorite inspirational quote? “We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided,” Albus Dumbledore. I first read the Harry Potter series in high school and didn’t quite appreciate the significance of these words – which are so relevant for all of us today – until I got older. Provide one business tip that has helped in your success. Always listen and keep an open mind. There is so much to learn from your peers and colleagues. The more you listen and absorb the more experience you gain, which will enable you to better serve your clients.

How would you describe yourself in three words? Motivated. Hardworking. Strong. What is your favorite inspirational quote? Never give up, timing is everything. What is your anticipated legacy? That I went above and beyond to make this a little bit of a better world.

What is the most exotic place you’ve ever traveled? Moorea, French Polynesia. The relaxed attitude, the hand-picked fruit, the ocean breeze, the fresh fish right out of the water. There’s something so different, so distant, so amazingly beautiful about life on that island. Name one characteristic of a highly successful person. Integrity. Whether at work or in life, transparency and honesty speak volumes without any words ever being spoken. It is the bedrock for building meaningful relationships and a lasting legacy. What is your definition of success? Success is somewhat subjective and unique to the individual. Sure, we have metrics of success in health care, academia, business and finance, but defined personal success is so very different. Success is: My daughters looking at me proudly and happily when I arrive home from a long shift as a paramedic or lovingly cuddled up next to me while I stay up late preparing for a new class, knowing that I’m doing my best to set a good example for them. Success is: The knowledge that the work I am doing can directly impact the lives of many as they prepare for, mitigate or recover from disasters. Success is: Knowing that one day the clinical lessons I pass along may very well mean the difference between life and death for someone I’ve never met. Success is waking up and trying to do better.

S16 | WESTCHESTER COUNTY 40UNDER40 | 2020

If you could have lunch with one historic figure, who would it be? Bob Marley due to his influence in music and humanitarian message to reach many corners of the world and have gone from strength to strength years after his death. A true definition of legacy. Name one habit of a highly successful person. Wake up early. You must plan for what awaits you. What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession/industry? Working in the utility industry has the engineering and construction challenges and solutions but, the real reward is in its people.

What is your most cherished hobby? The sport of fencing profoundly shaped my outlook on local and global communities. I was able to see so much of the world while representing the U.S. at World Cups across Europe and North America. Why is the Business Council so important to Westchester County’s economy? Westchester is home to a diverse cross-section of industries and business types – from small creative business to Fortune 500 companies. The BCW brings together leaders and emerging leaders from across sectors to promote collaboration and support economic growth. What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession/industry? Working in the creative industries is never dull and every day is full of variety. This sector challenges you to wear many hats and to be constantly learning.

Why is the Business Council so important to Westchester County’s Economy? The BCW is vital for Westchester County’s economy because it represents one voice for many business concerns and needs across the county. Having BCW be the voice for many businesses allows the county’s economy to better understand what is needed or lacking to allow the county to continue being successful.

What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession/industry? I enjoy the unique challenges that each day brings in health care. No two days are the same.

What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? Elon Musk said it best, “One of the biggest mistakes people tend to make is wishful thinking. You want something to be true even if it is not true. You ignore the real truth because of what you want to be true.”

How would you describe yourself in three words? I would describe myself as practical, committed and equitable.

What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? The best business advice offered to me was “Always say yes to an opportunity to learn.” A vast array of experiences allows for more growth opportunities.

If you could have lunch with one historic figure, who would it be? Pat Tillman. He is a hero of mine and embodies all the characteristics that symbolize an American. His patriotism and bravery are unmatched.

What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession/industry? Having the ability to inspire and made a difference in the lives of others each day is the most rewarding part of working in the nonprofit field. I have the privilege of working with talented and passionate individuals that give of their time and talents with no financial reward. If you could have any superpower, what would it be? I would love to have the ability to be invisible. It would be fantastic to be able to listen in to a conversation without anyone knowing you were there or attend an event or concert when you weren’t invited. What is your anticipated legacy? I want to be known as a difference-maker and someone people can look back and say he stood up for what he believed was right while being ethical, passionate and compassionate for the mission he supported and all those he came across during his career.

What is the most exotic place you’ve ever traveled? Istanbul. Without a doubt this is the best and brightest city I have ever seen. Rich in culture, delicious food, street fairs and lively culture at all hours of day and night. This was my first exotic trip, and by far my best…I yearn to go back sit in a Turkish café enjoying borek and a cup of tea. Life there is so simple and yet so rich. What is your most cherished hobby? My most cherished hobby is travel. I love everything about exploring new places and learning about different cultures and customs. In my down time I google places to visit, things to do there and fantasize about when I’d be going. Planning a trip from the moment of booking, to packing my bags and finally exploring is the most exhilarating thing for me. I love experiencing different cities, cultures, meeting new people and eating new foods. I will always try anything at least once… you cannot know whether or not something is appealing to you unless you’ve experienced it. What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession? I truly enjoy my profession and strongly believe that I have the best job in the world. I treat people whose lives are interrupted by some debility that causes them pain. Through multidisciplinary approaches, including physical therapy, medications and sometimes minimally invasive procedures I am able to give them back parts of their lives that they were forced to give up due to pain and dysfunction. The ability to give people back their hobbies, their time with family and sometimes just their basic joy for life is the most gratifying aspect of my job.

What is your favorite inspirational quote? Walking into 2020 I hung this quote up in my office and it seems to have fit perfectly. “If you’re going through hell, keep going,” Winston Churchill. What do you enjoy most about your chosen profession/industry? The ability to affect positive change and help people in need is the greatest reward of public service. What is your most cherished hobby? My most cherished hobby is fishing with my son, Charlie.

Who would play you in a screen play of your life? I would choose Keanu Reeves to play me in a screen play of my life. He is left-handed, has the hair down and is one of the most interesting men in the world. What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? The best personal and business advice I was ever given was simple: show up. Possibilities in this life are endless, but if you don’t put yourself in position for something to happen, nothing ever will. Name one habit of a highly successful person. One habit of a highly successful person is always being prepared. In business, not everything will unfold exactly how you envisioned. Being prepared allows you to identify, manage and correct problems immediately or before they happen.

Provide one networking tip. Be genuine. Authenticity is key. Provide one example from your educational experience that has led to your business success I went to high school in a lowerincome neighborhood, where the curriculum was not the best quality. High success in this type of setting was comparable to “average” success in more affluent areas. This meant, that when I attended college and higher education, I had to try twice as hard as my peers who had access to better quality education in their earlier years. I think being the academic “underdog” really humbled and pushed me. It instilled a sense of work ethic in me and level of discipline, that I don’t know I would have had otherwise. Name one of your unusual talents. Maybe unusual isn’t the word, but perhaps uncommon? I know how to hula/Hawaiian dance.

What is the most exotic place you’ve ever traveled? Brazil is one of the most exotic countries I have ever visited. Between the people, the food, the music you will be in awe by what it has to offer. What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? The best advice ever offered to me was to never assume that you are incapable of performing a task or incapable of taking on a new role. Name one habit of a highly successful person? A highly successful person is an optimist and accepts setbacks as a part of the journey. With nothing but the end goal in mind, he or she will try again until they succeed.

Congratulations to William Segel on the well-deserved honor of being named a 40 Under 40 Rising Star!

What is the most exotic place you’ve ever traveled? Hopkins Village in Belize. After several flights, including two singleengine plane rides and a three-hour ride on pothole-ridden dirt roads we arrived. It was unbelievably beautiful and relaxing being completely disconnected from everything. What is your favorite inspirational quote? “Fear doing nothing, not failure.” What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? Make opportunity happen, don’t stand back and wait or you many never find the correct path. It is better to try and fail than to never take a chance.

What is your most cherished hobby? I’ll name three. Music, listening and playing; sports, watching and playing; and travel, I’ve visited over 50 countries, many with my wife, Annie. If you won $20 million in the lottery, what would you do with the money? I would take the Weissman Children’s Foundation global and deliver stateof-the-art, evidence-based mental and behavioral health care to every child and family in need.

Provide one business tip that has helped you in your success. The one and most important business tip I’ve ever learned was to learn how to cultivate and maintain valuable relationships. That’s a full-time job in itself. But will pay off ten-fold in the long run. What’s your guilty pleasure? My one guilty pleasure is cookies. All types of cookies. I’m known as the cookie monster. How would you describe yourself in three words? I would describe myself by these three words: ambitious, energetic, social conscious.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be? I would love to be able to control time. There never seems to be enough of it. What was the best business or personal advice ever offered to you? The best business advice I ever received was to listen. It’s so simple and it has helped me both professionally and personally.

ECONOMIC RECOVERY TASK FORCE BCW Task Force Taking the Lead in Westchester’s Economic Recovery As Westchester’s premier business organization focused on economic development, the Business Council of Westchester has taken the lead in helping the County’s economy reemerge from the unprecedented downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In April, the BCW announced the formation of the BCW’s Economic Recovery Task Force. The Task Force brings together nearly 50 business leaders from across all sectors of Westchester’s economy to develop strategies and recommendations get the county’s economy up and running as soon as possible. Since then, the Task Force has issued two reports which were delivered to Governor Andrew Cuomo and County Executive George Latimer. The BCW also held two virtual Town Hall meetings that were well-attended by BCW members who raised new issues and made recommendations. A survey was recently sent to all BCW members to assess their concerns and needs on how to successfully reemerge from the pandemic. The Task Force will continue to meet and seek to identify strategies which will be useful for the State and County administrations in its planning for the months ahead.
