Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share in tonight’s program honoring United States Magistrate Ed Kiel and Bergen County Assistant Prosecutor, Karen Gwynn – both of whom have distinguished themselves in every walk of life. It is truly my privilege.

It is also my privilege to lead the Bergen Judiciary – a judiciary dedicated to the principles of fairness, equality, courtesy, and respect for all individuals.

It has been along time since I’ve had the opportunity to speak to you from an in-person podium and not on a Zoom Platform. It feels great.
