His devotion to the community he calls home led Mike to accept positions on the Board of Directors of the Hebrew Old Age Center, currently known as Seashore Gardens, and the Best of Life Senior Citizen Residence.

Mike and his wife Mary have two children, daughter Hope, son Rob and daughter-in-law Audrey. They have three grandchildren, Morgan, Sydney and Luke.

Maury Blumberg
Commissioner of Public Safety

For Maury, there’s no place like home. His family has lived in Margate for 54 years, and he attended both the Margate City Schools and Holy Spirit High School.

After graduating from Vanderbilt University in 1982, Maury began his career with Honeywell International in North Jersey where he worked for 22 years in senior management positions. When it was time for Maury and his wife Laurie to start a family, they returned in 1998 to the town he loves - Margate.

Maury serves on the Board of the Margate Little League and coaches softball and basketball each season. He has served on the Margate Zoning Board and is currently Vice President of Sales and Engineering at Jersey Architectural Door. Maury and his wife reside on Pembroke Avenue, with their twin girls, Claire and Kate.

To Maury, Margate is more than a town. It’s a neighborhood of people who work together, play together and make the community a superior place to live.
