OnPoint is a community credit union, with community as the key word. A strong community is diverse with common goals and perspectives. Financial literacy and security will make us and our families stronger. I would like to ensure that all our members have access to information and tools that will help them in their journey, wherever life takes them and their family. A lot of financial institutions make the same claim, but Onpoint has the resources and desire to provide individual care and advice when needed. I feel that my job is to help ensure that your hard earned assets are safe and secure.

I grew up in a blue collar area of Western New York, learning a lot about hard work and sacrifice. While I had a loving family, we lived paycheck to paycheck, and I was not taught financial literacy. That was something I had to learn on my own, and my chosen career path of accounting and finance certainly helped. I worked in various accounting and finance roles over the years, and currently serve on not-for-profit and private company Boards.

I was impressed to see that OnPoint has several financial tools and an education section on its website for members. I have also been invited to attend various webinars for cybersecurity and financial wellness since joining. OnPoint has committed to helping its members achieve their goals, and I want to be a part of the team that helps ensure that success.

As an OnPoint member since 1999 I have benefited greatly from the institution’s approach of centering people first. From the services to the products, OnPoint has been a reliable institution supporting my personal and family’s financial goals. I remain a member because of OnPoint’s demonstrated commitment to build strong communities by promoting financial growth and well-being for its members.

I am an engaged community member with a track record of championing economic security and prosperity for hard working people, and I understand and value the critical role of trustworthy financial institutions. OnPoint has grown responsibly by staying relevant, accessible and accountable to its members, and I am proud to be a member of a financial institution capable of delivering excellent membership benefits, services and value to our local community into the future. As a director, it would be an honor to continue stewarding our credit union’s legacy.
