Jimmy Drake

President

Jimmy has led a life of public service over a period of 50 years, where he served the town of West New York in 3 (elected) districts and the town of New Milford in 1. He also worked at the Federal CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) program where his job was helping individuals find employment through trade school training. Perhaps the stories of helping others get ahead through training and education inspired Darren's commitment to the trades.
After his years in public service, Jimmy went on to have a successful career in auto aftermarket sales and service. He would even take Darren with him on sales calls to give him valuable real-world exposure to the practices that Darren's college theory professed.
Jimmy is a devoted family man, never too busy for Barbara or Darren, and despite the terrible tragedy that has taken place, he is proud to dedicate his time to Darren's legacy of helping students succeed.
