My philosphy of leadership revolves around what I have believed from the day I became an officer and leader in this department, and that is, I don’t ask anyone to do anything I haven’t or wouldn’t do. My life experiences whether it was my 3 years active duty in the Navy 1975 to 1978, Reserve 1978-2005, or my time with the FDNY, have exposed me to many different leadership styles. I feel that I have learned from each of them.
