After serving as warden for nearly six years, Bruce now ensures that the building is managed and creates our bulletin. Raised Episcopalian, he grew up in Wisconsin, studied Music in NY, and worked in the medical field. Bruce loves the church, church music, and cheerfully challenges the rector.

I was born and raised at Colombia, introduced to Episcopal church since 2000 and active from 2007. I believe in serving, teamwork, learning, and improving. I have two grown up kids Jessica, (21) and Cristian(22), my true loves. I live in the neighborhood. I’m a painter and handyman, and park cars in a restaurant in Pocantico Hills (fun!). I enjoy spending time with my brothers and sisters at church. I’m a member of committee and a facilitator of "Academia Ecuménica de Liderazgo" to learn and raise leaders among our Hispanic people. It’s supported by the diocese of New York. I took part on the Episcopal Cursillo 104, and now proudly member of the teamwork of the 106. I love to work and serve, listen to salsa, see children smile - there is a Jesus smiling at you. Blessings.

I started my career in banking in 2001 and am now a Director in Risk Management at Deutsche Bank. I have held many positions throughout my career such as COO, accounting, financial reporting, trading operations and operational risk management. During my career I started a program to promote volunteerism and through that program I ran multiple large community improvement events with NJ CARES and NY CARES, increased donations year over year by 40% and doubled volunteering attendance. I am also a proud father of a 7yr old girl and husband that has been married for 16yrs. My daughter was baptized at the Trinity Episcopal Church where we used to attend church when we lived in NYC. We have been living in White Plains since 2015 and love our new home and church. When my daughter was in preschool she attended the Early Childhood Center at Memorial United Methodist Church where I also was on the board as treasurer and president. During my time there I cleaned uo their bookkeeping and created a more efficient use of their prudent reserve account by investing in a conservative managed fund. I hope to help the church grow and thrive and also help our community prosper. I look forward to working with the vestry to improve the way the church can serve the community.

Cuban born and raised I moved during my 20’s to the Dominican Republic and I’ve been living for the last couple years in the US. I believe that the Anglican/Episcopal approach to the Christian faith as a bridge between the catholic and reformed worlds, its “people first” emphasis, its ways of evangelizing through social justice, beauty and radical welcome have a great message for this divided world we are living in.

A member of the Order of Saint Francis, I strive following Jesus in Franciscan minority. I work, as best as I'm able, to answer the call of Jesus in the marginalized, the forgotten and the voiceless; promoting universal fraternity, justice, peace and harmony with the entire creation.

Here at St. Bart’s I help with our Pastoral Care (how the church serves its more vulnerable members); the Soup Kitchen; and along with Fr Gawain, I am focused in growing and strengthening our vibrant Latino community.

An aviation enthusiast I’ll usually will be up to date on aviation news and history. Needless to say, I love to fly and would always try to be early at the airport to spot uncommon airplanes or special liveries on airlines. Ask me about it!
