cherished friends.

Beverly Dyer, and his uncle, Mark E. Rozell.

team-members who provided an engaging environment of camaraderie, friendship, and an
overall feeling of companionship.
Previously, he worked at the BDO Orlando, Albany Public Library, and Albany Medical Center.
He also worked and studied at the University at Albany SUNY where he earned a Master's
Degree of Library Science.
