From the President’s Desk
August 2016
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the latest edition of Knightlines!
This is the second issue that follows our new publication schedule, which
will result in the magazine appearing three times a year instead of twice.
As it happens, the timing is perfect, as this change coincides with a very
exciting time at St. Joe’s.
Looking back, we celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2016, which earned more
than $20 million in scholarship opportunities. Commencement was a particularly memorable
occasion, thanks in part to John Flaherty ’85, who gave this year’s address and provided our
graduates and their families with a wonderful graduation reflection.
We also look back on another successful spring sports season, highlighted by the amazing
run of our league and county champion Green Knights baseball team (ranked second in
New Jersey) and our spring production of Ordinary People, which came on the heels of last
year’s You Can’t Take It With You being named Best H.S. Comedy in New Jersey by Montclair
State University.
Looking ahead, SJR moves into the summer months with tremendous energy, excitement
and anticipation. As I write this at the end of July, we are busy with the gymnasium
renovation; Phase 1, which included demolition, painting and the installation of new lighting,
has already been completed. Phase 2, which includes the painting of our new school logo
on the gym floor and the installation of new bleachers, padding and banners, will begin on
August 1. The end result should be spectacular!
We are also excited about the service work being completed by our students under the
direction of Brother John Dunning and Campus Ministry Director Harry Duchesne. This
week, 14 students are in the Boston area volunteering their time with Young Neighbors in
Action. Next week, for four consecutive weeks, some five dozen SJR students and graduates
will serve at the Marist Brothers Summer Camp program in Esopus.
And of course, in just a few short weeks, we will welcome the largest freshman class we have
had in more than 10 years.
Finally, as a school administration, we are busy transitioning to our new President-Principal
leadership model. I am tremendously excited by the appointment of Michael Bruno ’05 as
SJR’s eighth Principal, and I am honored to assume the role of the school’s first President.
There is no doubt in my mind that this change will enable SJR to continue to grow its
enrollment, its facilities, its programs and its ability to offer a new generation of Green
Knights the finest Catholic education possible.
With so many great things happening, it is an exciting time indeed. God bless you.

Congratulations to the Class of 2016

Saint Joseph Regional High School celebrated
its 51st Commencement Ceremony on June 5.
The 112 members of the Class of 2016 officially became St. Joe’s alumni in a
three-day Graduation weekend celebration in June. The class earned numerous
accolades and citations, and its members were awarded $20 million in scholarship
offers from more than 150 different colleges and universities.
Christopher Cheeseman, representing his class as valedictorian, celebrated those
successes: “So here we are, diplomas in hand, tassels flipped, our parents ready
to take pictures for the next hour. We made it. We are ready to take one of the
biggest steps of our lives.”
He also urged his fellow graduates to make a difference: “We are going to look
back and be grateful that we learned how to be men in a world where being a true
man, a faithful man, is often a difficult thing to be. But let’s be the ones who are
the driving forces in our society. Let’s be the ones who change it.”
YES network broadcaster John Flaherty, who graduated from St. Joe’s in 1985,
gave the commencement address. Flaherty was a Major League Baseball player
from 1992 to 2005, including stints with the Red Sox and Yankees. He spoke
about the importance of mental toughness, and how that was challenged when
his mom passed away while he was in college. He also shared his “secrets of
success,” including goal-setting, being a good teammate, having a good attitude
and completing the work that will get you where you want to be.
Class Salutatorian Joseph Malfa summed up the feelings of many graduates in
his speech: “We are going to miss this place. ... There is no place like SJR, and we
wouldn’t trade our four years here for the world.”
He also had some advice for the graduates: “Keep growing, learn as much as you
can, try as many different things as you can and live every day with the goal of
becoming a better person than you were the day before.”
Malfa was also presented with the St. Joseph Medal, awarded to the member of
the graduating class who exemplifies to the highest degree all those personal traits
that the school strives to develop in its students: loyalty, leadership, scholarship
service, industry and active Catholicity.
President Barry Donnelly ’71, who just completed his fourth decade of working
for the school, commented on the conflicting emotions of the day for the
graduates and their families, saying “And so we come to that bittersweet crossroad
of graduation and commencement, of saying our good-byes even as we welcome
a new beginning.” He concluded the cermeony by reminding the graduates of
their responsibility to be faithful men: “Be God’s light in this world. Shine before
others. And in your leaving today, be a beacon by which His presence is made
manifest in this world. Do that, and you cannot help but enjoy success beyond
riches, the kind of success of which we will all be rightly proud.”
President Barry Donnelly congratulates
Vice Principal Michael Doherty ’82 on
30 years of service to the school.

Veteran Teacher Retires from SJR
James Huebner has retired from St.
Joe’s after 26 years.
Huebner has left a lasting impact
on generations of Green Knights.
Huebner’s teaching style has taught
alumni and current students life lessons
of responsibility and independence.
For the past several years, Huebner
has taught juniors and seniors in
accounting, pre-calculus, and AP
calculus. Students often come back
to St. Joe’s telling of how well Mr.
Huebner’s classes have prepared them
for their calculus classes in college. He
is one of our school’s most beloved
teachers and will leave some big shoes
to fill in Room 113.
Mr. Huebner has been a subject of
discussion of past and present students
for years. Ben Kaplan ’15, currently
studying at MIT, had class with Mr.
Huebner. “It wasn’t what Mr. Huebner
taught, but how he taught it that made
him such an effective teacher,” he said.
“The effort he put into teaching day
in and day out and how much he truly
cared for each individual student in a
Huebner sort of way was unparalleled.
The man is a legend in every sense of
the word.”
Nick Tauken ’17 said, “Mr. Huebner
is definitely one of the best teachers
I’ve had. Instead of just going through
motions, he ensures that we will be
prepared for math we will see in the
future. His teaching philosophy has left
a legacy at SJR, and I will miss having
him as my teacher.”
Former baseball Coach Frank Salvano
called Huebner “the best assistant coach
I ever had in my 28 years as manager.
He never wanted to take credit, he had
no ego, and he wanted to let everything
be for the kids.”
It is accurate to say that Mr. Huebner
carries that attitude into his teaching
style too. Success in his class does not
come easy, but his way of breaking
down the most complex problems into
a simple process has led to the success
of thousands of students over the
years.-With material by Colin Medwick ’17
Paul Salvati Retires from the Classroom
Paul Salvati retired in June after 14 years at St. Joe’s. Salvati was a professional
journalist prior to his becoming an educator. During his long tenure with the
school, he taught all four grade levels of English, and, for a number of years,
taught a journalism course that he developed. This past year, he provided ESL
instruction to our international students.
Mr. Salvati also played a key role in several extracurricular programs. He directed
the WSJR television studio for a number of years, moderated AEGIS, the SJR
yearbook, in 2007 and 2008, and assisted with the tennis program.
An avid reader and baseball fan, Mr. Salvati intends to pursue his passion for
writing and journalism following his retirement from the classroom.

SJR Embraces President/Principal Model
Barry Donnelly ’71 becomes SJR’s first President; Michael Bruno ’05 hired as the school’s eighth Principal
After several years of strategic planning
and preparation, St. Joe’s has adopted
a new President-Principal leadership
model intended to advance the school’s
technology and academic programs
even as it helps build enrollment and
strengthen community and alumni
relations.
“For some time, the Board of
Consultants has been researching the
benefits of a dual leadership model
of President/Principal in our school,”
said Dan Kelly ’87, chair of the Board
of Consultants. “We have given
strong consideration to the significant
advantages this model provides in the
secondary Catholic school environment,
which is being utilized in many other
Catholic high schools. With the great
strides the school has made over the last
several years, we feel that we are well
positioned to make this a reality for the
upcoming 2016-2017 school year.”
Former Principal Barry Donnelly ’71
assumed the role of President as of
July 1. “Barry has been the face of SJR
for over 40 years. He is an experienced
leader who embraces our mission and
shares an immense passion for our
school,” said Kelly. “Barry possesses
many of the qualities of one of our
most beloved Principals, Brother Peter
Russell CFX, who led SJR when I
attended in the 1980s. He is a true
gentleman, living out his vocation in
Catholic education. Barry has served
our school in many roles, and we are
confident he will bring the skills and
experience necessary for success in his
new role as President.”
Michael Bruno ’05 assumed the position
of Principal July 1. Bruno is a graduate
of Seton Hall University, where he
earned his Bachelor of Science degree
in Secondary Education and History
and his Master’s degree in Educational

Leadership, Management and Policy. He
began his career as a substitute teacher
for the Tenafly Public School system
before taking a position as a full-time
teacher and Admissions Director at
the Academy of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel in Tenafly. During the 2012-13
school year, he served Mount Carmel
as Dean of Discipline and Admissions
Director. In 2013-14, he became VicePrincipal of that school, and for the
past two years, has been Principal.
Bruno said that his time as a student
at SJR had a tremendous impact on
his life. “There was a strong sense of
camaraderie between the students, and
several teachers left a lasting impression
on me,” he said. “I am impressed
with many changes the school has
made since my graduation, including a
strengthened campus ministry program,
numerous facilities upgrades and
the upcoming fall introduction of a
STEAM curriculum. I hope to foster
more collaboration and interdisciplinary
projects early in my tenure here.”
Bruno is deeply committed to the value
of a Catholic education, especially as it
is a family tradition. His two brothers,
Danny ’03 and James ’07, attended SJR;
his mom and sister attended AHA.
“The exceptional success Mr. Bruno
has enjoyed as an administrator at
Mt. Carmel was one of a great many
things that impressed the Search
Committee,” said Donnelly. “Aside
from being an SJR graduate, he has
a truly rare combination of youth
and experience as someone who has
already been the Principal of another
Archdiocesan school. His heart-felt
commitment to Catholic education, his
ability to articulate a clear vision for
the academic growth of our school, his
desire to enhance the use of technology
throughout our instructional program
and his dynamic, inspiring personality
will serve him very well in his new role.”
“I am honored and humbled to have
been selected as the new Principal of
St. Joe’s,” said Bruno. “As an alumnus, I
have a deep appreciation for the storied
history of this proud school. My goal
will be to help guide its ‘faithful men’ by
advancing our academic program and
continuing the school’s rich tradition of
extracurricular offerings.”
SJR Recognized in Theater Award Programs
SJR’s Performing Arts program
continued its award-winning tradition,
receiving several prestigious honors for
its 2015 performance of You Can’t Take
It With You and its 2016 production of
Urinetown: The Musical.
In May, You Can’t Take It With You was
named Best High School Comedy in
New Jersey by the Montclair State
University High School Theater Awards.
All eight of SJR’s non-musicals (since
the program’s inception in 2008) have
been nominated as one of the top
productions in the state, and this year
marks the fourth time St. Joe’s has
captured top honors.
SJR’s winter production of Urinetown:
The Musical won the Paper Mill
Playhouse Rising Star Educational
Impact Award. It was the sixth time
in the history of the program that
a St. Joe’s show was so honored; no
other school in New Jersey has been
recognized so often. SJR performers
utilized the show, with a storyline
focusing on a society in which people
must pay to use the restrooms, to
emphasize the lack of access to clean
water throughout the world.
“This is an award that needs to be
shared with the group of parents and
with campus minister Harry Duchesne
and science department chair Joanne
Cavera, who helped write lessons
plans; the cast members who filled out
the surveys; the students who were
filmed sharing their survey answers;
the students who sold water at lunch
and after school; and the students who
collected donations at the rest rooms at
each performance–raising over $1,100,”
said John Asselta, chair of the SJR
Performing Arts Department.
Urinetown: The Musical also won Best
Overall Lobby Design from the The
Metropolitan High School Theater
Award competition. “This was
accomplished by the artistic vision

and leadership of Carmen Thame and
many parents who extended our show
and its message throughout the lobby
and did this better than any other high
school musical in Bergen, Rockland and
Westchester counties,” said Asselta.
In other theater news, the Academy
of Holy Angels’ cast of Children of
Eden won the Paper Mill Award for
Outstanding Performance by a Chorus.
That chorus is comprised of many SJR
and Holy Angel students who are part
of the SJR Theater Program.
Nick Berninger ’16 was nominated for
Best Actor for his role in that show. He
was in a Bergen Record article as part of a
story about the Rising Star Awards and
starred in a professional production of
School of Rock: The Musical in May. To

Spring Sports Highlight
SPRING TRACK:
This was a rebuilding year for our Green Knight
runners, jumpers and throwers. “After losing all members of last year’s 4 x 100
meter state championship team, we knew this season would be one of new faces,”
said coach Nick DeVito ’97. “In fact, 21 different members of the team scored
in different varsity events this season. Sophomore Fara’ad McCombs was the top
sprinter and jumper, while Bryan Francis ’16, showing great range, was our most
consistent runner in the 400 to 1600 meter runs.”
The 4 x 800 m team of Francis, Mark Bodnar ’16, Luke Plescia ’18 and Dalton
Collins ’18 placed third in the League Championships and fourth at the Counties.
Additional placements at the county championships include Francis (800 m),
Luke Berninger ’19 (pole vault) and McCombs (long jump). Francis was named
Honorable Mention, All-League and Honorable Mention, All-County.
Bryan Francis ’16
GOLF:
Coach Dan Davis ’99 noted that the players made tremendous
improvements from last year: “We finished at .500 for the first time in a long time.
We shot a season low 161 at the division tournament, placing third, behind only the
top two teams in the state.”
The team finished third in the Big North United Division, had the 13th
best handicap in Bergen County and qualified for the O’dell Nassar County
Tournament, which is for the top 10 teams in Bergen County. Antonio Sirianni ’17
was named Second Team, All-League with Nick Diani ’17 and Drew Hliboki ’18
named Honorable Mention, All-League.
Antonio Sirianni ’17
TENNIS:
SJR tennis once again proved to be a valiant contender in this year’s
Sixth Annual Comet Classic Tournament. This year’s third place finish marked
the fourth consecutive year that the team placed in the top three. In a very tough
league, the team did emerge victorious in several contests, including 3-2 decisions
against Bergenfield and DePaul.
Steve Goodwin ’16 was named First Team All-Division with Nathan Tombo ’17
receiving Honorable Mention, All-League.

LACROSSE:
The varsity squad finished the season 10-6. “I think the season
was a success,” said Coach Andrew DeCicco. “We had three games cancelled, and
all three of those games would have added to our win total. I’m disapprointed that
we didn’t win our conference but very proud of how we came together at the end
of the season. Ending the season with a 6-5 overtime loss to Don Bosco really
showed that the SJR lacrosse program has made great strides as a team and will be
a force to be reckoned with in the future.”
Several players were named to the All Curcio Conference Team. JT Giles-Harris
’16 and Mike Donaghy ’17 were named First Team, with Giles-Harris also named
Player of the Year. Matt Hinkley ’16 and Jack Kandoth ’16 were named Second
Team, with Greg Korczak ’16 Honorable Mention.
Giles-Harris also received recognition as an Under Armour All-American, FirstTeam Preseason All-American by USA Today and was featured on the cover of
Lacrosse magazine.

Spring Sports
(continued)
BASEBALL:
The 2016 season will be remembered for capturing the
Conference and County Championships, being ranked second in the state, the 27-4
varsity record and many outstanding performances.
SJR captured the school’s 10th County Championship against archrival Bergen
Catholic on Memorial Day weekend. St. Joe’s emerged victorious 3-1, with Devin
Ortiz ’17 named Best Pitcher of the tournament and Matthew Cocciadifferro ’16
Tournament MVP.
After winning the Bergen County Championship, the team focused on the North
Jersey Non Public A championship. The game pitted fourth-seeded SJR versus
fifth-seeded Don Bosco. The Green Knights emerged with an 8-5 victory.
Next up for SJR was Delbarton. Traveling to face the top-seeded Green Wave on
a rainy Friday, the Green Knights sent Delbarton’s starting pitcher packing after
he gave up three runs in one-third of an inning. Once again, the Green Knights
cinched the game with a score of 8-5.
Austin Bodrato ’16 was selected by the
Pittsburgh Pirates in the 24th round of
the Major League Baseball Draft just
days after graduating from SJR!
Next up were the state sectionals, which pitted pitted SJR versus Seton Hall Prep.
Despite a strong showing, the team fell to Seton Hall 6-2.
Unsurprisingly, the team and its players earned many accolades for its amazing
sesason. The team was ranked second in the state by nj.com and Team of the
Year at the All County Awards Cermony. Coach Cieslak was honored as Big
North Coach of the Year. Austin Bodrato, Devin Ortiz and John Mesagno were
named First Team All-County, with Justyn-Henry Malloy Third Team All-County.
Bodrato, Malloy and Mesagno were also named Non-Public Group A First Team.
Additionally, Bodrato and Malloy were named Second Team All-State; Ortiz was
Third Team All-State.
Justyn Henry-Malloy ’18 earned MVP
honors and Athlete of the Year with the
USA Baseball 15U team last summer.
The team is looking forward to building on a strong foundation of success in the
2017 season.-With material by Joe Shelley ’18

Damion Logan ’96 Returns Home
Damion Logan—who was a threetime state champion, a four-time state
finalist and a Bergen Record Athlete of
the Week during his years as a studentathlete at SJR—will now participate in
the wrestling program from a different
angle, as the new head coach this winter.
“SJR is a place that created lasted
memories and numerous learning
experiences,” said Logan. “It was and
still is an integral part of who I am
today. Some say you can never go home;
sometimes you have to, just to give
back.”
After graduating from SJR, Logan
wrestled at the University of Michigan,
where he was a two-time NCAA
Division I All-American and led the
team in wins and pins in the 19992000 season. In the 1998-1999 season
he was the University of Michigan’s
most outstanding wrestler at the Big 10
Championship.
Logan has previously served as an
assistant coach at West Point, the
University of Pennsylvania and Stevens
Institute of Technology. He has also
been involved in recreational and high
school programs. He is currently the
Head Coach and Co-Owner (with Erik
Norgaard ’00, who also previously
served as a wrestling coach at SJR) of
Apex Wrestling School in Kenilworth.
“I look forward to working with the SJR
wrestlers this upcoming season,” said
Logan. “Wrestling is a unique sport on
many levels. It is a sport with one of the
highest degrees of delay of gratification:
hours of practice for just a few minutes
of competition. This is the same work
ethic that has been shown to positively
affect academic performance. I look
forward to creating a program that
is an exemplar for SJR’s mission as
a Catholic secondary educational
institution.”
Second Annual Football Golf Outing a Success!
A golf outing to benefit the football program was held Monday, July 18. The event, honoring Mark Plescia, Sr. and family, was
attended by 135 golfers and raised $30,800. A special thank you to Gina and Greg Mathis, who coordinated the outing.

A Summer of Service to Others
The summer months are typically a time
to think about hanging out with friends
and going on vacation, but for a host
of SJR students, summer has become a
time to experience something different
and meet new friends through social
outreach and service to others.
As has been the case for a number of
years, more than 50 Green Knights
will volunteer a week of their summer
at the Marist Brother Summer Camp
program, which serves disabled and
disadvantaged children and young
adults. Coordinated by Brother John
Dunning, students serve five different
week-long camps (July 3-9, July 24-30,
August 7-13, August 14-20, August 2127) in a variety of capacities that include
everything from cooking meals (more
than 100 meals three times a day!) to life
guarding to coordinating activities to
being counselors for individual campers
with special needs. Remarkably, besides
this year’s student volunteers, some
20 alumni, all of whom have been a
part of the Marist camp program for
several years, will be returning again
this summer, including Joe Gorgone
’07, Shane McMorrow ’07, Sean Curry
’09, Dan Schiavone ’10, Craig Babcock
’11, Chris Heintze ’11, Joe Hall ’11,

’15, Jordan Van Italie ’15, Ryan Doran

Meanwhile, another group of SJR
students participated in the Young
Neighbors in Action program,
spending the week in the Boston
area on a mission trip to “help young
people encounter Jesus through
service, community and prayer.”
During the week of July 25-29, 14 SJR
students helped run camp programs
during the day for area youth at two
locations including Bethany Hill Place

in Framingham and the B-Safe St.
Steven’s Summer Program in Chelsea,
Massachusetts. At night, they had
dinner and shared their prayers and
reflections on the day at St. Joseph
Preparatory High School in Brighton,
Massachusetts.
Coordinated by SJR’s Director of
Campus Ministry, Mr. Harry Duchesne,
the program seeks to create a powerful
and fulfilling experience for both the
communities that benefit from the
service and for those who volunteer
their time to provide it.
Those taking part in the program found
it eye-opening. When asked about their
experience, the boys said the following:
•
•
•
“The trip taught me a lot about
compassion.”
“The children from the summer
camp have given me the gift of
happiness; they treated me like
family.”
“Young Neighbors in Action made
me realize how blessed I am, as
the children I worked with have
Rising juniors Allen Asencio (left) and Conor

very few opportunities. It made me
appreciate what I have even more in
my life.”
“With YNIA, I witnessed another
side of life with people; it broke
down barriers and helped me realize
how similar we all are.”
“I view life differently and do not
take things for granted.”
The Campus Ministry program will seek
to expand this kind of social concern in
the 2016-17 academic year.

Alumni Profiles: Crimefighting and Pu
A
lthough Daniel Oates ’73
has spent almost his entire
career in law enforcement,
he said he never once
thought about being a cop until he was
well out of college. After graduating
from SJR, Oates studied English at
Bucknell then worked for the Atlantic
City Press. “It was an exciting time to be
a newspaper reporter—it was right after
the Watergate scandal,” he said.
Soon after Oates moved to New
York City, where his wife worked, and
began editing a magazine. He didn’t
love the position and began thinking
about pursuing a law degree. Soon
after, he heard an NYPD ad on the
radio recruiting officers. It was the first
time in five years that the department
had hired staff. Oates felt drawn to
the position. He was hired and, after
completing his training and being sworn
in, began patrolling city streets, which
he said was “wildly exciting.”
“Crime was out of control in the city,”
said Oates. “It was great to catch the
bad guys and be a part of the miracle
turnaround of New York City.”
Oates also worked in the narcotics unit
in Brooklyn when crack cocaine began
to hit the streets.
What is most amazing about Oates’
NYPD career is his rapid rise through
the ranks, which he attributes to being
in the right place at the right time. He
joined the force after a long hiring
freeze, and five to six years later many
seasoned officers retired. This allowed
him to rise from patrolling the streets
to captain in less than 10 years, picking
up degrees in law and management
along the way. Among his many
positions at the NYPD, Oates served
as the Commanding Officer of the
Intelligence Division and as the Chief
Counsel and Commanding Officer of
the 85-attorney Legal Bureau.
16 • SJR Knightlines
His management experience inspired
him to become a police chief, with his
first stint in the college town of Ann
Arbor, Michigan. He left New York
in the summer of 2001, weeks before
the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Suddenly,
not being a member of the NYPD
was painful. “I felt I belonged in New
York,” he admitted. “It was hard to be
in Michigan while my former colleagues
were dealing with the aftereffects of the
attack.”
His time in Ann Arbor showed Oates
how different policing can be outside of
the NYPD. “The NYPD is three times
larger than any other police department
in the United States,” Oates said.
“Other municipalities don’t have a crime
lab, SWAT team or a bomb squad, so it
becomes imperative to work with other
law enforcement organizations, such as
sheriff departments and the FBI.”
Four years later, Oates became the
Chief of Police in Aurora, Colo., the
third-largest city in the state. During his
tenure, it was also the scene of one of
the largest mass shootings in the United
States, when James Holmes entered a
packed midnight screening of The Dark
Knight Rises and shot 70 people; 12 of
them died. It was the largest number
of casualties during a mass shooting
in the United States prior to this June’s
Orlando nightclub shooting.
Oates is proud of how his staff handled
the event. “There were 350 people in
that one theater that night, and 1100 in
the building,” he said. “Everyone who
could have been saved was saved. A
decision by a young sergeant—to place
the injured in patrol cars to get them
to the hospital as quickly as possible as
paramedics could not get to the scene—
was the critical decision of the night
The entire situation was life-altering for
everyone involved.”
Daniel Oates ’73
Now Oates is serving as the 19th Chief
of the Miami Beach Police Department,
a position he has held since June 2014.
While it is a very different environment
than his other posts, he acknowledged
that most policing remains the same
from location to location: delivering
service to the community, responding to
needs, handling traffic and preventing
crime.
What has changed the most since
he was a rookie cop is the demands
placed on today’s police officers. Oates’
training lasted four months; now, it
is six months. “In 1980, cops were
equipped with handheld radios, a radio
in the patrol car, a nightstick, gun and
handcuffs,” said Oates. “Now, police
officers also often have computers
in the car running several different
software programs, video cameras,
AEDs, tasers and first aid kits. Officers
receive ongoing training.”
Despite the challenges, Oates loves his
work: “Giving back to the community
is a trait that was instilled in me during
my 12 years of Catholic education,” he
said. “I am proud of my career in public
service, which has allowed me to make a
real difference in people’s lives.”
nd Public Safety All in a Day’s Work
D
ave Tedesco ’06
(pictured right with wife,
Jeannette, who is due
in December with the
couple’s first child) has served on the
protective services detail for some of
the highest-profile politicians in our
country, including President Obama,
Vice President Joe Biden, Ted Cruz,
Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump,
as well as Pope Francis. It’s all part of
the job for Tedesco, who is a member
of the United States Capitol Police
Department.
Known as “America’s Police
Department, the mission of the Capitol
Police is to protect Congress, the
legislative process, members, employees,
visitors and facilities. One component
of his job is working security detail for
high-ranking government officials and
visitors. “I have spoken to President
Obama very briefly, but it still counts!”
he said. “If you can name someone I
have probably at some point worked a
security detail for that person. It really
is a humbling experience, and I consider
myself blessed to have been given the
opportunity to do this.”
Unlike Dan Oates, who never
considered a career in criminal justice
until he was already established in
another career, Tedesco always knew he
wanted to work as either a firefighter
or police officer. He never realized the
path to securing a job in these fields
would be so difficult. Upon graduating
from SJR he said he “bounced around
from job to job” while also serving
as a volunteer firefighter. During this
time he took exams to become a police
officer in various locations, including
New York, North Carolina and South
Carolina.
Unable to secure a coveted law
enforcement position, Tedesco, then
almost 23, began to study criminal
justice at Bergen Community College.
And then, two semesters into his
studies, Tedesco received the call he
had been waiting for: The United States
Capitol Police Department offered
him a position as an officer. After six
months of training in Georgia and
Maryland, Tedesco finally started
working as a police officer. Although
the journey to this job was long,
Tedesco has no regrets about the
struggle: “I learned so much about
myself and my level of perseverance
during that time. When you are getting
rejection letters left and right, you really
find out how badly you want it and how
hard you are willing to work for it.”
It is clear that Tedesco is proud of
the work he does and enjoys making
a difference. He said there is a strong
sense of camaraderie among the
officers: “I work with more than
1500 other men and women, and it
is amazing to see that many people
working in cooperation to accomplish
our mission. It’s an incredible feeling
of responsibility, but also satisfying to
know that you contribute to the safety
and effectiveness of our government.”
One of his most dangerous assignments
involved a hostage situation in an office
near the Capitol. “It was a weekend, so
our SWAT team was not in the district,”
Tedesco explained. “Officers were
asked to volunteer to clear the building,
and I volunteered. It was an incredible
experience to be in there searching
the building floor by floor without
any indication of where the shooter
was. I remember being scared walking
through the front doors, but as soon as
we were inside I immediately reverted
back to my training and was calm and
focused. In the end it ended up being
a hoax call, and the caller was actually
in a building down the road watching
us. But I learned a lot about myself and
how I can rely on my skills to handle an
unknown situation.”
Dave Tedesco ’06
That event helped Tedesco earn the
respect of the people he works with,
a trait he values highly: “I have always
prided myself on being someone
that can be trusted to do his job well.
Eventually, there will be promotions to
earn, and that’s something I definitely
want, but for now it’s about my
coworkers knowing they can trust me.”
Tedesco believes that the values he
learned at St. Joe’s, particularly the
importance of loyalty, are vital to his
career success. “Whether it was the
football team against Bergen Catholic,
the baseball team taking on Don
Bosco, or the level of our academics
against another school, St. Joe’s was
the first place I ever felt like I needed
to defend to the end,” Tedesco said. “I
characterize myself as someone who is
fiercely loyal to my friends and family.
The school taught me that mindset and
how to be proud of myself and my
accomplishments, and that loyalty is one
of the true traits of a good man.”
