He began his career with the former Office of Fiscal Affairs of the New Jersey Legislature where he undertook reviews for legislative compliance and effectiveness of various state entities including the Division of Pensions, the Department of Civil Service, the Division of Building and Construction, and the Educational Facilities Authority.
