In February 2003, I enlisted in the U.S. Army and completed Basic Combat Training at Fort Benning, Georgia. I began Officer Candidate School in January 2004; upon graduation, I received a commission and have since earned a promotion to Colonel. I joined the Fourth Infantry Division at Fort Hood, Texas, where I became a platoon leader in Bravo Battery of the 2-77th Field Artillery. We deployed to Central Iraq from 2005 to 2006, where I led more than 100 combat patrols in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
I graduated from Harvard Law School in June 2001. Following the New York State Bar Exam, I worked for the Manhattan-based law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell and was admitted to the New York State bar and the federal bar of the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. I completed a one-year clerkship with the Hon. Barrington D. Parker, Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.
Born in 1976, I was educated in New York State’s public schools, graduating from Port Washington’s Paul D. Schreiber High School in 1994. I earned a B.A. with honors in History and Humanities from Yale University in 1998 and received a Master’s Degree in History from Yale in the same year.
While in law school, I enjoyed teaching at Harvard College. In the spring of 2001, I taught two sections of “Ancient Greek Democracy,” and in the fall of 2000 I led two discussion sections of a Classical art history class, earning the Harvard University Distinction in Teaching Award for the second year in a row. In 1999 I taught an undergraduate modern literature section. I have since appeared as a guest speaker at Yale University, Harvard Law School, and Wofford College.
Before law school, I worked as a journalist, editing several weekly Long Island newspapers, including the Three Village Times and the Floral Park Dispatch. I also worked as a reporter for the Port Washington News, the Southampton Press, and the Associated Press.
In the New York Army National Guard, I am currently commanding a Brigade, the Division Artillery for the 42nd Infantry Division. As an assistant district attorney for 14 years, I prosecuted white collar crime, burglaries, bank robberies, and homicides. In addition, I have been a lecturer for the New York Prosecutors Training Institute and the National District Attorneys Association, speaking in Denver, New York, Seattle, Las Vegas, and Washington, D.C.
Candace April Rand of Thornwood, New York, and I were married in 2001. Our daughter, Lilah, was born while I was deployed to Iraq. Our sons, Marc, Jr., Conrad, and Cyrus, were born after my family and I returned to New York.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
