Husband and Father
As a husband, father, and active member of this community I consider myself to be very fortunate to have been born and raised in Rome and educated in Rome Public Schools. I was extremely proud to have served this great community as a law enforcement officer with one of the best police departments in the state, if not the country.
Public Servant
I had the absolute pleasure of serving the Rome community as a member of the Rome Police Department recently retiring as a Detective in 2022. From 2018-2022 I served as President of the Rome Police Benevolent Association. I was extremely proud to have served this great community as a law enforcement officer with one of the best police departments in the state, if not the country.

LEADER
PBA President 2018 – 2022
In 2018, I took on the role as the President of the Phillip S. McDonald Police Benevolent Association. This was during a time when morale at the police department was at an all time low, and we had seen an unprecedented exodus of 17 patrol officers leaving the department due to a hostile relationship between the administration and the patrol division. After leading the arbitration on several issues, the union was able to prove several areas of misconduct by the administration, including, for the first time in New York State, the presence of a ticket quota system. I continued this role until my retirement in 2022.
What others are saying
I worked with Jeff for several years when he was a member of the Community Impact Unit for the Rome Police Department. He was an excellent public servant and an even better human being He will be an amazing Mayor and is just what the 3rd Ward and the City of Rome needs!
I’ve had the honor of serving local government in various roles over the last 20+ years. I’ve worked with Mayors, Councilors/Commissioners from both sides of the aisle in efforts to effectively lead those organizations. Having known Jeff personally and professionally for all of my career I am confident in his abilities to successfully lead the City of Rome. I believe in him, because he believes in all of Rome.
