Domenic Menafra
Chances are you already know Domenic, even if you haven’t met him in person. Like so many of his fellow residents Dom and his wife Carmela purchased their 20th century era home in Northvale and have devoted their time and energy into making it suitable to raise a family in the 21st century. 13 years ago Dom was drawn to the appeal of the Northvale, a safe and affordable place to live with a true community feel.
Today he and his wife are proud to raise their two daughters here. If you have met Dom, it has likely been at Veterans Park or Hogan Field where he has been significantly involved in coaching co-ed and girls soccer for Northvale Recreation for the past several years. He often organized and led extra training and pick up game sessions for soccer along with his fellow coaches to help players improve their skills, volunteering even more of his time than is typically required during the season. And whether it is home renovation, coaching, or just about anything else, Dom is always looking at ways to make things better and work collaboratively with others.
You may have gotten a chance to talk to Dom at Northvale School before pick-up or heard him lector at St. Anthony’s where he has served for more than a decade. He has invested his time, money, and most importantly his family in Northvale and is dedicated to improving the town by leading it technologically into the 21st century and by serving as a financial steward to help make town expenditures more predictable and transparent. Dom also works locally in Rockleigh as a Software Engineering Manager, delivering cutting edge home automation and control solutions for Crestron Electronics. He holds both bachelors and masters degrees in Computer Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology and has worked previously in both the telecom and healthcare industries. Dom’s experience with professional leadership and team building are skills he intends to use to help make Northvale not just a good place to live, but the best place to live.
