 I am currently the Municipal Debt Manager and Assistant City Treasurer for the City of Charlotte, promoted to my current role after serving as the Finance Department's Economist, providing analyses used by management and the City Council. I'm part of a small team of professionals, chiefly responsible for the formation of the City of Charlotte's operating revenue budget. I'm responsible for the management and oversight of the City's nearly 4-billion dollar municipal debt portfolio.Prior to joining the City, I worked in private industry serving as a Senior Consultant with Big 4 accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. With D&T, I have traveled extensively around the country meeting with business clients, serving on a team of financial watchdogs monitoring and auditing the financial statements for many of America's largest corporations.
I am proud to be an adjunct Professor for Central Piedmont Community College. I teach evening Economics courses and have had the pleasure of meeting and mentoring many of the best and brightest students to come out of the CMS system. I truly enjoy my time in the classroom being an educator.
In addition to my education and management experience, I worked my way through college serving as a medical technician, often moonlighting in the emergency room. That experience in the hospital translated into the halls of government where I helped lobby for changes in New York's Medicaid law and elderly healthcare initiatives. Additionally, I have also served as a congressional intern, News Reporter and Associated Press stringer. I was part of a team that won an award from the Associated Press for Excellence in Reporting in part for my coverage of the September 11th terrorist attacks.
I married my High School sweetheart, Monica Stankowitz Levy, a former CMS math teacher. We are the proud parents of our son, Benjamin.
I've been blessed with the opportunity to earn multiple graduate degrees while working full time. I have a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from Wake Forest University where I majored in General Management focusing on classes in negotiations, finance and project management and was cross enrolled at the Wake Forest School of Law. I also hold a Bachelors and Masters degree in Economics from the State University of New York at Albany, and an Associates degree from Hudson Valley Community College. My family and I are active members of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Charlotte. My past volunteer experience includes various summer camps and youth groups, the community hospice, food preparation for the homeless shelter, Volunteer ambulance corps, Right Moves for Youth Twilight 5K race and as a new student mentor for Wake Forest University.
