He also oversaw the distribution of hundreds of millions of dollars in programs to support small businesses in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
He holds a bachelor’s degree from Wesleyan University and has earned dual master’s degrees from Princeton University, specializing in Public Policy and Urban Planning.
