Committed to Elevating Education in Naugatuck

I’m proud to announce my candidacy for re-election to the Naugatuck Board of Education. Over the past term, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside students, families, educators, and community leaders to strengthen our schools and foster a forward-thinking, supportive learning environment.

As we look ahead, I remain committed to building on the progress we’ve made. Together, we can continue the tradition of Naugatuck Public Schools as a district rooted in inspiration, inclusivity, and excellence.

A Lifelong Naugatuck Resident

Bob has lived in Naugatuck ever since his parents brought him home from Saint Mary's Hospital. After attending Naugatuck's public schools, Bob attended Central Connecticut State University and then graduated from UConn with a double major in political science and history, and then obtained his law degree from UConn Law.


Over the years, Bob got married, welcomed his children, began his legal practice, and coached several local sports teams. Ultimately, he was elected as Mayor of Naugatuck in 2009 and served as the town's leader for over six years. After his time as Mayor, Bob happily started a new career in banking while continuing his coaching of local teams. He's now ready to return to public service with your support!
