Jay has lectured on various topics for over 25 years and has appeared as an invited expert witness four times at the Joint Budget Hearings of the Senate and Assembly of the state of New York discussing the confluence of the fiscal crisis, the

His skiing adventures recently took him deep into the Andes Mountains of Patagonia, Argentina. An adaptive athlete since a medical incident in November of 2024, Jay is still an avid skier, golfer, and distance runner and plans on spending the rest of his life getting less dumb at those endeavors.
