His responsibilities included solving problems and issues facing the senator’s constituents and preparing legislation for the Senate Judiciary Committee. Ted loved working on behalf of the people residing in the senator’s district. He knew there he was making a difference.

In 1988, he became a partner in the firm of Betar, Quatrella & Hendrie. Ted has always had an entrepreneurial spirit.
