About

My professional background is in the Archived section about Staropoli Consulting, Inc.

My personal life is rich and full.  I’m married to the same woman, Sue, since 1966.  We have six children and 11 grandchildren, most of whom live in the Rochester NY area, within 10 minutes of us! (Click on “About” to learn more)

Any given day, I might be attending a concert, a game, a recital, an exhibition, an impromptu backyard firepit, etc.  Or two of those.  Or more.  I am glad to be on-call for renovations and repairs at our kids’ homes.

Much of my energy is now devoted to bridging the racial divide in my home city and in our country.  I’ve given workshops on bias, prejudice and race.  For three years I published the bi-weekly blog “A White Guy in Rochester” which is archived on this site. I also co-founded a year-long intensive experience for senior business leaders, Exploring Racism Groups.

I have not convinced myself yet to enjoy exercise, but I really enjoy cycling, senior-league softball and golf.

A few family pics.  The caption given to the last one by one of our granddaughters:  “Mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!”
