Small Business
As a small business owner in NYC, my father worked what seemed like endless hours to develop a successful chain of gyms. His success was largely driven by his passion for his clients and desire to serve the local community. Inspired by my father’s entrepreneurial spirit and resilience, I learned the value of being an entrepreneur and started a small business. While being a small business owner for over three decades, I saw firsthand the struggles and challenges small businesses face every day especially in our unpredictable economic environment. Shopping and dining locally, when possible, will provide revenue to struggling businesses while also keeping local jobs. We must celebrate and support our locally loved small businesses that are the heart of our communities.
