Meet Robert Becker
Hello to my Tewksbury friends and neighbors.
For those of you who do not know me from prior service on Tewksbury Township Committee and as your Deputy Mayor in 2020, allow me to share a little about myself and how you can contact me.
In the Spring of 2004, after seeing over 45 homes within a 10-15 mile radius, my wife Deidre and I found our first and only home right here. We arrived here after driving up through Cokesbury Road and Guinea Hollow and the greenery, farms and ruralness with homes set back from the road appealed to us. We have lived at Beavers Road ever since.
As a member of Deutscher Club, I support German cultural education and more recently am learning (trying!!!) country line dancing. Passions include reading, beekeeping, and creating pollinator gardens.
A few years after moving here I volunteered as a driver with the Tewksbury Rescue squad (love driving the ambulances!). Within our community I’ve served on our Parks Committee and Land Use Board and also served for six years as your Tewksbury elected representative on the North Hunterdon Vorhees school board.
Professionally, my career has been selling high-value proprietary databases and trading platforms that, to be successful, requires strategic alignment across multiple stakeholders.
