What excites you about living and working in Suffolk County?
"It's the mix of everything to do for my family. From going to the beach, or heading to the local vineyards, both bring a relaxed, scenic vibe that is hard to beat. It is also close enough to New York City, where the attractions and restaurants are endless, but far enough from our home to feel like an escape from the hustle and bustle. A big attractor to moving to Long Island was also the public schools for my kids. The schools are some of the best in the country and another reason why I felt comfortable moving my family to the area.

On top of taking care of my family, I felt connected to the work being done at Greenlawn and BAE Systems. From advanced mission computing systems that are utilized for anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare to (IFF) Identification Friend or Foe, which accurately assists the warfighter in detecting potential adversaries, these products are critical to keeping people safe. Knowing that they are built here in this factory, provides a great sense of passion and commitment for what I do."
