Why did you join the team at the Electric City Food Co-Op?
Simply, to make sure that we can provide a community owned grocery store in downtown Schenectady. The benefits of such a store is beyond initial comprehension.

What excites you about Schenectady?
Having grown up in Schenectady during the decline related to the manufacturing sector, I recall the great times in our city. I’ve watched this city move toward greatness in the last several years. Our city is alive and full of great people who want to work together to make our city better than ever.
