I have spent my career in the hospitality industry and currently work as a Food Service Manager for the Atlantic County Government in New Jersey. We prepare food for the Meals on Wheels home delivery program where all the senior centers and county-run nursing homes in the county receive hot meals.
I have been married to my lovely wife Erlinda Aurelio for 23 years now. We enjoy family activities with our nieces and nephews, eating out at restaurants, and Erlinda enjoys taking me out shopping.
I am a member of the Freemasons and Appendant Bodies. I am also a member of the Sons of Italy Pat Campitelli lodge #2520 in Brigantine, NJ. Being part of these organizations affords me the opportunity to give back to my community and help those less fortunate than me, which I am very passionate about.
In August of 2023, I was diagnosed with kidney disease and have been on dialysis since that time. I am currently doing peritoneal dialysis at home. I have so much life ahead of me and would love to have more time with my family! I look forward to receiving the wonderful gift of a kidney transplant!
